About
One regret, dear world, that I am determined not to have when I am lying on my deathbed is that I did not kiss you enough. Hafiz 
ABOUT THIS SITE
Photography brings me tremendous joy (my way of of kissing the world), and I love sharing that joy with others.
I see myself as a witness to life. Someone once told me that I have the role of “sacred witness”. That resonates with me, thus the title of this photoblog. Seeing life, being present with life, is a sacred act. Photography is one way I “see”, one way I practice being present.
It is my hope that in sharing my photos and stories, you will feel the invitation to be present in your life and will be inspired to become a witness to life. We live in tumultuous times. By taking the time to truly listen, see, and be present, we can bring healing to ourselves, those around us, and to the world at large.
ABOUT ME
My name is Carla Royal, and I am 49 years old. As I approach the half century mark, I have been deeply reflecting on my life, especially in light of the tumultuous times in which we live. I spent 20 years working as a psychotherapist and only recently decided to let that business wind down in order to create space for something new to emerge. My primary work is changing/evolving. I don’t know what that will look like yet, but I am clear that my role as sacred witness is a key part of this evolution, and key in extending some healing to the world.
I have also become a caretaker. It’s one way I’ve chosen to simplify my life. My partner and I have a caretaker position on a beautiful horse farm in Georgia’s Lake Country. We lovingly care for the land and animals. It is wonderful, simple, and satisfying work.
Recent years have been quite the adventure. More and more, I am learning to relax into the groundlessness of life. Pema Chodron has called it Comfortable with Uncertainty. My adventures are leading me to accept impermanence, embrace it, and thrive, even in the midst of troubled times. Photography is one way I support this practice.
May the photos and stories in this blog bring much joy, awareness, and healing to you and the world.
