I've heard that intention is the readiness to receive. That is one way to put it. I was getting ready for bed and turning off all the lights. The only illumination was from the streetlights outside. I sometimes wish I could turn them off, too. Then, I noticed the serving vessels, their shapes emerging from the darkness. So, I grabbed my camera and made a few exposures. In the morning, I liked them well enough and I was happy to have acted on my instincts.
