Experience Essence

This morning I read "My earliest memories are of the landscape of Burren in West Ireland. The Burren is an ancient kingdom of Limestone sculptures carved slowly by the rain, wind and time. Limestone is a living stone. Everywhere light conspires to invest these stone shapes with nuance. When rain comes, the whole stonescape turns blue-black. Rain has artistic permission here that it could enjoy in no other landscape, it drenches the gray stone with gleaming blue-black. Everyw...here the stone drinks in blackness, then the rain ceases and the sun returns, the light effects a complete transfiguration. Gradually the dark dries off and the stonescape literally resurrects, glistening with washed whiteness, a reminder that this stone world once lived on the ocean floor. As the grip of the winter loosens, the landscape welcomes spring flowers, which have unexpected home here. These delicate flowers creep forth in subtle sacraments of color, similar to the very breath that life breathes into things until their individual color flames. " See more

I was reading this morning " The imagination is like a lantern, it illuminates the inner landscapes of life. When our eyes are graced with Wonder, the world reveals its wonders to us, the quality of our looking determines what we see. Beauty and Mystery all around us "
