Reading Merton has coached me in the practices of those he described in New Seeds of Contemplation as “contemplatives,” who are first and foremost “fully alive and awake.” His summons to wake up to the joys of being a human being has pressed me to keep hearing his voice. Through him I have learned to receive each day as an opportunity to live a deeper and more gracefully inclusive life. In the light of his counsel, I have also imbibed sad but necessary truths: I am deeply flawed and unfinished, a beginner always far from achieving high degrees. To steal by paraphrasing a line of Mary Oliver from her famous poem “The Summer Day,” “I don’t know what contemplation really is, but I shall not cease learning how to pay attention.”

In 1970, the US Treasury’s longest-running promotions for Savings Bonds was initiated. Posters and billboards seemed to be everywhere, and even some railroads got into the act. The Reading Company had several freight cars augmented with the placards, including this covered hopper seen at Allentown, Pennsylvania in 1986

The original embroidery, 70 meters long, was made in the XI century and it is preserved in Bayeux in France. This full size copy was completed in 1886 and is exhibited at the Reading Museum in England.

The tapestry depicts the events that led to the invasion of England by the Normans and the battle of Hastings.

Reading By Candlelight may not be good for ones eyes but sometimes the stories really seem to come to life. Ones imagination can open a mind to the point where you feel the horse beneath you and feel the wind in your hair. When reading in a well lit room the horse may not be so fast and your hair not even get messy. My advice is to keep the candle burning and don’t fall off of your Stallion. Thanks for viewing my work. Gratitude and Kindness helps keep the imagination active.

I often dream of owning a place like this. Something small that I could fix up and call my own. A place where the walls have stories to tell. A place where I could sit on the deck reading, or knitting, while sipping a coffee and watching the world go by. A place where the birds would come and visit and the beach was just a few feet away. A place to escape my cookie cutter reality of suburbia. A place to dream.

One thing I've got down to a science is panning heritage units in bad weather leading their way past Harris Tower in downtown Harrisburg. This shot is no different as NS 1067, the Reading heritage unit, leads train 66Z east through the first feet of the Harrisburg Line.

This is blurry, but I still loved this shot of Andrew reading his book at the library.

Yup, i admit it's not original... I just wanted to do it :)

Sitting on the edge of the dock reading the waves as they go by, relaxing and a way to escape the world for a moment.

Reading the obits.....a lot of people read the obits to see if an old friend or acquaintance has died....

Fredericksburg, VA

 

Found this by driving the side streets in Fredericksburg; this factory had the appearance of being shut down and abandoned. The sign above the door reading "furniture" was painted on top of something else. I'm not sure what it used to say.

 

I was attracted (as I always am lol) to the grunge and decay. Also the red walls and red door were striking.
