Michael, you see and experience such beauty in the world. If a time comes when words become too hard, I hope you will continue to share through your photography. There is a wonderful book by Christine Valters Paintner titled The Eyes of the Heart: Photography as a Christian Contemplative Practice. I believe that it could encourage you with rich new possibilities. I will walk with you on your journey through treatment.
Dear, dear Michael ! I DO join you in your treatment AND in your love of the river and your many walks.
The line of friendship is strong and life-giving, even though we seldom get to see each other. Tonight I'm
bringing you into our Evening Prayer ! Love and peace....
Hmmm....an internal chemical cocktail of despair, egrets, meditation, and reminders to see, feel, and take in the joy beyond understanding ---- with space for despair, fear, pain, birds, brain surgery, wrapped in an ecstasy of belonging that doesn't exclude anything.... possibly not even words.
Hmmm.
Yeah.
I guess you can sign me up for that treatment, too.
Traveling with you each step Michael. Part of the great cloud, both here and those just beyond in the thin places, witnessing and loving and connecting.
