{Note} some phrases from Gilson ({ The} Spirit of Medieval Philosophy30) on the Cistercian theology of love: (1) “Born of love, the whole universe is penetrated, moved, vivified from within, by love that circulates through it like life-giving blood through the body” (p. 276); 31 (2) “Human love, in spite of all its ignorance, blindness and even downright error, is always a participation in God’s own love for Himself.… even in the midst of the lowest pleasures, the most abandoned voluptuary is still seeking God” (p. 274); 32
“The question is then not how to acquire the love of God, but rather how to make it fully aware of itself, of its object, and of the way it should bear itself towards its object. In this sense the only difficulty is that of education, or, if you prefer, the re-education of love. The whole effort of Cistercian mysticism is therefore brought to bear on this point.” 33

Looking close on Friday theme: Reflection in a knife.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
I am a reflection of what people expect from me.
And even then. It is not enough.
I don't know why, but this reminds me of a movie still.
I'm also addicted to golden hour -- it's kind of a problem.
It's kind of a huge problem.
I was taken with the bold colours and the reflection - but it is a sad statement of life that we pollute our waterways with rubbish. It wasn't until i looked on the computer that I also saw the bottle floating there.
Peaceful reflections on an early morning on the Peddler River in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia…
Reflections. I was on the path than runs beside Sandymount Strand towards Poolbeg. There was a large water puddle on the path with good reflections. I was fortunate to get this dog in the right place.
On a cold wet lunchtime in Glasgow on a Saturday, it's not nice receiving the text message telling you that you've been stood up.
Thanks everyone for all the comments and faves

Reflection of a grey heron in Entabeni, South Africa
The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is a long-legged wading bird of the heron family, Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia, and also parts of Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but some populations from the more northern parts migrate southwards in autumn. A bird of wetland areas, it can be seen around lakes, rivers, ponds, marshes and on the sea coast. It feeds mostly on aquatic creatures which it catches after standing stationary beside or in the water, or stalking its prey through the shallows.
