Real Journey in Life

By the Light House 7, a photo by rchoephoto on Flickr.


Our real journey in life is interior;
it is a matter of growth, deepening,
and of an ever greater surrender
to the creative action of love
and grace in our hearts.

Thomas Merton, The Asian Journal

Be Still

Cedar Point, a photo by rchoephoto on Flickr.


     In the rush and noise of life,
     as you have intervals,
     step within yourself and be still.

Birthing your images

You must give birth to your images.
They are the future waiting to be born.
Fear not the strangeness you feel.
The future must enter you long before it happens.
Just wait for the birth,
for the hour of new clarity.
