Loyalty , and Thankfulness
“Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.”
― Mark Twain

“Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children's children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
― Patrick Henry

“The science of government it is my duty to study, more than all other sciences; the arts of legislation and administration and negotiation ought to take the place of, indeed exclude, in a manner, all other arts. I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. Our sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain.”
― John Adams, Letters of John Adams, Addressed to His Wife

“We are a seed patiently waiting in the earth: waiting to come up a flower in the Gardener's good time, up into the real world, the real waking. I suppose that our whole present life, looked back on from there, will seem only a drowsy half-waking. We are here in the land of dreams. But cock-crow is coming.”

― C. S. Lewis

I'm only starting to understand that mid life is a rebirth, a renewal if we let it. The insecurities of our 20s, and the overconfident attitude of our 30s is being stripped away. Like a death. Like a "single seed" that has to die.

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit."

Yes, this is primarily about Jesus. His Sacrifice.

But , as with everything Christ taught there are layers that we can enter into if we will take the trouble.
Could it also be that part of the key is in the second half of the verse? Yes, dying to myself and sin , and even hopes and plans sometimes.

But also, dying to aloneness, aloofness, independence so that I can humbly build a true community, where I can be open about my struggles with other believers. Where I can leave self preservations in the past, a distant memory.

Psalm 13

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
Look on me and answer, LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,
and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me."

and also,

“How you think when you lose determines how long it will be until you win.”

― G.K. Chesterton

Sometimes my beloved GK is profound and sometimes he is mildly annoying. Today , I am finding this quote helpful and irksome.

Fine art photography goes beyond simple documentation. It uses the camera as a medium for creative expression. Instead of capturing reality exactly as it appears, the goal is to convey an emotion, tell a story, or express an abstract concept driven purely by the photographer’s imagination. The photos I create are meant to be printed, and hung on your walls. They are never made to just exist as pixels on your phone.

I Am the Light of the World
by Malcolm Guite , in "Parable and Paradox", on page 57

“I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12

"I see your world in light that shines behind me,

Lit by a sun whose rays I cannot see,

The smallest gleam of light still seems to find me

Or find the child who’s hiding deep inside me.

I see your light reflected in the water,

Or kindled suddenly in someone’s eyes,

It shimmers through the living leaves of summer,

Or spills from silver veins in leaden skies,

It gathers in the candles at our vespers

It concentrates in tiny drops of dew

At times it sings for joy, at times it whispers,

But all the time it calls me back to you.

I follow you upstream through this dark night

My saviour, source, and spring, my life and light."

________________________________________________

These are photos that are inspired by Malcolm Guite's " I AM the light of the World". I have been devouring his work this summer. I highly recommend his poetry, as well as his lovely book on the Imagination "Lifting the Veil."

Why Canvas prints?

Why Choose Canvas Prints?
*No Glass or Glare: Unlike framed photos, canvas prints do not have glass or a high-gloss finish. They feature a satin-matte texture that eliminates distracting reflections, making them perfect for rooms with lots of natural or artificial light.
* Ready to Hang: Canvas prints are stretched over a wooden frame, giving them a three-dimensional, museum-like quality right out of the box. They do not require a separate picture frame, which saves time and hassle.
*Highly Cost-Effective: Because you don't have to purchase a custom frame, printing large-scale photos on canvas is much more affordable than traditional framing.
*Lightweight and Durable: Canvas is much lighter than traditional framed art and glass, making it easier to hang, rearrange, or transport. The durable fabric is also resistant to moisture and fingerprints.
*Versatile Decor: The sleek, borderless look of wrapped canvases blends perfectly with almost any interior design style—from modern and minimalist to rustic and traditional.
