Photography

Sky. “That all things are possible to him who believes, that they are less difficult to him who hopes, they are more easy to him who loves, and still more easy to him who perseveres in the practice of these three virtues.” “Life is this simple: we are living in a world that is absolutely transparent and the divine is shining through it all the time. This is not just a nice story or a fable, it is true.” Spring rain. Mist. Mist. Symmetries. LAX. Vanishing point. A new friend. Greatest of all time. Barbecue and clowning around. Taking it easy. Oakland. A lovely afternoon spent with friends. Caffeine and freeways. Dusk. We retire to a hotel room at Heathrow, before flying to Los Angeles airport the next day. “In a higher world it is otherwise, but here below to live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often.” Stations of the Cross, St Mary’s Catholic Church, Bridgend, Fifth Sunday of Lent. In bloom. “Ex umbris et imaginibus in veritatem!” (From shadows and symbols into the truth!) A cast of Michelangelo’s David at the V&A Museum in London. “All things were given to me from the moment when I no longer sought them.” Westminster Cathedral, London. The handwriting of Karol Wojtyła (St John Paul II). A cast of Michelangelo’s Moses at the V&A Museum in London. “We may spend our whole lives waiting to live. Thus we risk not fully accepting the reality of our present lives. Yet, what guarantee is there that we won’t be disappointed when the long-awaited time arrives? Meanwhile we don’t put our hearts sufficiently into today, and so miss graces we should be receiving. Let us live each moment to the full, not worrying about whether time is going quickly or slowly but welcoming everything given us moment by moment.” “At the heart of every culture is its approach to the greatest of all mysteries: the mystery of God.” Early. Portal. Icelandic adventures: Auden, MacNeice, Armitage, and Maxwell.
