I especially love the power of a photograph to speak to each person so individually. What we bring to the image from our own experience and present needs can stir, comfort, discomfort, and even heal us.
Recently I read about a kind of meditative prayer called Visio Divina. It is a type of contemplative prayer in which you spend time sitting with an image, allowing God to reveal to you some understanding through the art. You may sense a word, an emotion, a memory. You rest in whatever comes.
With so much noise in the world, I want to bring you some opportunities to "see"what God wants to share with you. The meditations always come with photographs that in my heart connect in some way.
I gently encourage you sit with some of them, or take a few of your own.
You may be surprised by the result.
