Hi, this is my first interaction with this group. The poem is beautiful and I posted two images that mean a great deal to me and I believe reflect the intent of the poem. “yellow” and “New Mexico Door.” Thank you for the opportunity. Kind regards, Karen

I posted a few photos from my recent trip to Illinois. I went with an attitude of “looking and listening for beauty”…and “where is God in all of this?” in a place that challenged me so much as a child. It was a great meditation and made the trip so much different than usual.

Christine,
I’m really loving this invitation this summer. One of the things I wanted to do was spend more time with my camera and this is a wonderful reason. My photo can be found here: http://meansofgrace.wordpress.com/2009/07/15/listen-with-th…-of-your-heart
or at the Flickr group where it seems I will be known as “theologybird”

I was browsing the beach all morning with these thoughts in mind and my camera. Unfortunately, I forgot the cable that connects my camera to the laptop

But my thoughts on images I saw…
two favorites…

There is a skeleton of a gray whale with a historical marker describing a whale seen during the Lewis & Clark explorations. I thought of a song my daughter wrote that starts…”We follow the path of our ancestors.” Calls to the unseen cloud of witnesses who have gone before us.

And fabulous birds, literally hundreds, grouped together worshipping the fogged in sea, listening and waiting for their chance to dive in and get that which sustains them. That was my favorite.

I can’t wait to get home and get the pictures from the camera into the computer so I can start tinkering!
