Very little talk this week, just the photos from last weekends snow here in our part of Maine, and two images taken a few weeks ago. Peter Ralston, a well published and remarkable photographer who has a gallery in Rockport here in Maine says, "There's a story in every photograph that is worth telling." I agree and also believe that the story can be fact of the matter, or a metaphor that begins in the heart, that wonderful vehicle that expresses every emotion we are capable of setting free.
I would suggest that you not take my story line for the images on this blog, but that you let your own words flow from the center of yourself in the language of the Spirit's Wind as it is set free to roam without restriction, through all that we are, as receivers of wondrous insights.
The storm arrives over Penobscot Bay
with all the drama it can muster -
dark and violent as its passage rushes toward Camden.
Trying hard but not succeeding in covering several clouds
that refuse to surrender their light to the furies.

Winter closes its gate to the arrival of Spring,
not yet ready to cede defeat in the face of changing seasons.
When the first green shoots of Spring poke their noses through the snow,
Winter will release its grip on the land and on our lives.
Then, and only then, will the joy of being out in snow covered woods
be replaced by the delight of walking the paths in Spring's new life,
bringing another resurection into our waiting hearts.
(The following five photos are a reflection of what I felt and pondered as the movement of the wonder of Winter's beauty met my eyes. The expressed delight of God's creativity is to be found everywhere, and for me is seen in all directions as long as I stop, look, and listen to the Song That Never Ends. )
Let us fall in love again
and carry the colors of
sunset and sunrise all over the
world.
Let us become a new seeker
and feel the drifting
breeze from Heaven's Incense
carried on the evening
light to a willing heart.
God's loving regard is
crystal clear,
and all are blessed by its
joy filled Light.

Some humor, two this week as I only posted a photo here last week - my attempt at atonement for grevious sins - I think ....
Until next week,
