Delighted by Beauty

I SO love having a camera as part of my eye …

There is a crack
in everything.
That is where
the light gets in."

Image Poetry

A shocking thing is about to occur – I’m going on vacation. A lay around, dip your toes in a river kind of vacation – for a whole week!

I had the idea of sharing some (more) of my recent photography with you while I’m gone, so I hope you enjoy these short verses of "image poetry" and the words I’ve chosen to accompany them.

Here’s the first one:

Enlightenment, for a wave in the ocean, is the moment the wave realizes it is water.

Inexhaustable Sweetness

Walking through a friend’s rose garden the other day … this one opened to greet my lens:

In my in-box this morning, a quote from my friend Liz:

"There is in all things an inexhaustible sweetness and purity, a silence that is a fount of action and joy. It rises up in wordless gentleness and flows out to me from the unseen roots of all created being, welcoming me tenderly, saluting me with indescribable humility."

~ from Thomas Merton‘s poem, Hagia Sophia.
