Yet that move into unpleasant territory was exactly my intention in this instance because these are issues about which I feel passionately, and they do jar and intrude. I regret that it didn't work for you and hope that you may yet rest in another moment with the image in a way that is beneficial.visual theologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184961109315471466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429515118424269823.post-4018207167667179172009-02-03T15:38:00.000+00:002009-02-03T15:38:00.000+00:00The photograph took away my breath as I stared at ...The photograph took away my breath as I stared at it for a few moments and moved into my quiet space. I was captivated within the first two paragraphs, and held there, as a willing hostage, within the words. <BR/><BR/>I was just beginning to visualize the amazing connection between photo and word, when my eyes crossed over the third paragraph. It was like a shot that jerked me awake, and my moment was gone.<BR/><BR/>I get your point. It was not lost on me, though I would rather not have gone there. A point that does nothing but distract from the depth of the moment; from the gift of a spiritual awakening in the 'snow'.ENCHANTEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14982005947847411497noreply@blogger.com
