So far, when I included images in my posts, I had taken them, with my cameras, or retouch them -- I know I'm not a very good photographer. But this time I didn't shoot this picture, though I 'took' it. I sometimes do emotional journaling, when frustrated about something, but when writing is not enough I focus on image visualization looking for images and 'gluing' them to the journal. In this case I de-contextualized and re-contextualized this image. I was running a search on google by writing names of feelings, etc. I wasn't looking for the word 'libertad' at all, but for something I don't exactly remember now. This pic called my attention because it was completely different from the others that google's 'heart' was throwing out there. I clicked on it and found a page presenting a collection of hand-bags .... But to me the image is 'libertad' - a feeling, a word, a solution I hadn't been able to write in the google bar .....
