Can’t see them in the picture, but there are three rabbits and four blue jays in that small garden plot this morning and I’m just sitting on my patio drinking my coffee and grateful for this moment. Lots of other shit in the world right now, but that’s a few square feet of goodness right there.

Took this last year when at Taize on sabbatical with my family. Absolutely love the fine detail of John and Jesus meeting each other in this.

This is a beautiful photo essay. Thank you for sharing it all.
This image reminds me of the Croi at Corrymeela Community in Northern Ireland. This isn’t a great image, but the round architecture and almost spiral pathway really draw you into the center.
