sunday sermon

Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: 

 to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, 

and to reflect it towards others. And the more peace there is in us, 

the more peace there will also be in our troubled world.

An Interrupted Life

foto friday

Going back to the root goal of my photography - having my photos available to those who want them, I've decided to make Fridays a sharing day. I will provide a different photo each Friday that you can download and print for your personal use. The photo is in pdf form. You will need Adobe Reader to open the file. You can download Reader for free here. I'm new to this downloading stuff and am using dropbox to facilitate the transfer. If you have any problems downloading the photo, please let me know.

wisdom and grace

Three things cannot long be hidden:

the sun, the moon, and the truth.

Postings may be sporadic the next two weeks. I am on jury duty and must help decide a case that will affect the rest of a young man's life. What a huge responsibility. May I have the wisdom and grace to recognize and know the truth.

exchange

For the past few years, Vane of Brooklyn Bride blog has coordinated a Christmas card exchange. This year, I joined. Each of us had to send out five handmade cards - plus one to Vane! I received these beautiful creations.

Stacy, April, and Brooke.

The saga of my card is epic. I'll go into it in another post. This is the photo card I ended up sending:

Fire Buddha - posterized...loving the photoshop posterize filter these days!
