... about the Pool of Possibilities e-Calendar
"What an awesome gift and incredible pictures... the energy, FLOW, and extreme beauty leave me in awe." Beatrice Rodriguez
"I am enjoying the daily notes more and more. As a 'recovering technologist', Courtney's words of wisdom are finding a corner in my soul that has not been exercised for a very long time, and opening it up to new awareness." Bob Kavanagh
"Beautiful, stunning images. I feel so beautiful, abundant and blessed". D.M.
"I missed several days in the beginning for a variety of reasons... So I trolled around and found, joy of joy, the archives, and there was every day I'd missed! I'm the kind of person who can easily rush through things, glance at the image, go for the words and be on to the next one. This time I did things differently. I really took my time and gazed at each image and pondered Courtney's words... The impact of all of them together was quite amazing. A little while later, after I'd left the computer, I noticed this feeling of joy dancing around in me! Thanks so very much!" Carol Kavanagh
"I've had a rough couple of days emotionally and spending quiet thought with your photos brings me back home" J.D.
"This is a brilliant idea! The images are tremendously 'uplifting' ... and I find it a very unique, inspiring and 'different' gift for a friend - and to give myself" T.D.
" I thought I wouldn't be too much into this because I'm not a computer person, but now I am just relishing my daily morning reflection time at the pool" L.S.
"I love answering the Pool Wisdom questions every day and then I find myself asking strangers the same questions! I hope there will be some kind of gathering for those who are just as involved as I am so that we can share some of our answers." Christine Devine
"I am very positively affected by the visual stimulus of Courtney Milne's photography, AND the Pool of Possibilities, specifically. Creating the Pool of Possibilities Calendar was originally a desire to share the beauty of the images alone. However, every day I am compelled to read Courtney's Poolside Wisdom and am equally compelled to use the Journal... as it was intended... to capture my own daily reflections on life. In the course of just a few days into the new year, I have quit smoking, drinking coffee, and now subsequently, alcohol... Now that is positive impact!!" Sian Linderman, artist, business coach for artists
... about the Impact of Courtney's Work
"Courtney Milne is not only engaged with the surfaces and textures of the worlds he explores, he seeks to reveal the realm of the soul and the spirit" Robert Bateman, wildlife artist
" I have come across your Pool Project and like a child with a new toy - I have come back to your website 6 times today ... each time seeing something different, each time evoking another layer of emotion and joy and subtlety and clarity. I can't get enough. ...I have been lazy / uninspired /unemotional about creating visual images purely for the love of it, with no agenda, no timeline, and no one else's expectations of the final outcome. I haven't seen any photography in the last year or so that has made my heart beat a little faster, that has made me want to be better, that has made me say "that photographer is amazing". Until your Pool. ...
I will be ordering a print from you... I must have some of that energy, that passion in my intimate space, not only to enjoy but to remind me of my purpose .. to create because I love to... because I must." D.M.
"Courtney Milne has the gift to part the veil to allow us to glimpse what is always there, yet rarely seen." Ann Mortifee, singer,songwriter
"When I saw your show in my Grade VI art class, I decided then and there to do something special with my life." Shawn Verreault, lead guitar, Wide Mouth Mason
"His images and words were like a wake-up call. I sat with tears in my eyes, the weight of my longing pressing into my chest. It is the grief of separation from that which nurtures, grounds, and fills me with the wonder of being alive." Susan Neden, Sogyo Consulting
