For me taking pictures
is just about paying attention;
looking for and at the beauty that surrounds us.
*
It is thinking of how Elizabeth Goudge saw
beauty
in the green hills, woods, in golden sun,
in houses with beautiful shapes
coming to greet us.
It is finding the path hidden that is there
and walking in it.
It is being aware of God,
The Author, the Creator, the Provider, the Giver of all Beauty,
the Maker of Trees.
It is thinking of how trees are made
big and strong
by winds that blow on them
by storms
that strengthen the trunks
and twist the limbs
strong and beautiful.
*
It is realizing that with God
and being in His will
is being safe
even in the
strengthening storm.
