Foggy Morning

It is a foggy morning - but it is supposed to clear later on. I figured out - I think - how to make a link on this thing. Here is a recent article I wrote. Let's see if it works.

Our water tower - if you have read William Least Heat Moon's "Blue Highways," this is the tower he saw which attracted and guided him here, to the monastery, where he stayed for a few days. There is a section in his book about his stay here, as well as a few photographs. It is a wonderful book.

Jackson Square, New Orleans - from a recent trip to Louisana, when I went to visit my mom.

St. Joseph's Hospital, in Atlanta - so much glass and concrete - reflections galore in any of the windows.

Our sanctuary steps. In the morning, the play of light across the sanctuary is beautiful, as the light shines through the windows and onto the glass-like floor.

Early February

Honey Creek winds its way through our property and here is a small stretch of it. It is cooler in this spot in the summer, and there is a small bridge with a ledge. It is a nice place to sit and mull things over on a hot summer day.

The Rule says that we are supposed to discard what we do not really need - but I am glad that we have not taken that to the extreme. There are some old, beautiful things in all sorts of places around here. I do not know what the use of the metal can was - we used to have a dairy farm here, some years back. Maybe it is from those days.

There are already buds on a lot of the trees here - maybe a sign of an early spring. Someone told me that there are already daffodils down by the lake. Maybe I will head down there tomorrow and take some pictures.
