I really like the lines in this photo as well as the atmosphere that reminds me of (rather negative) impressions of my childhood and youth...

Last weekend I tried some experimentation with camera movement during long exposures. There were some beautiful fall colors at the lake and some nice still water for reflections. After many attempts I wasn't able to get the kinds of shots I was going for but I did end up really liking this one. It is way more abstract than what I was going for but I like it none the less. Feel free to let me know what your thoughts are.

I was standing on the edge of a vineyard when I took this shot. I've always admired the large house you see on the other side of the vineyard but it's only in winter when all the leaves have fallen that you can see it properly from where I was. I must return early next year to try and capture a photo of it.
Petra, the great Ancient City that lies half-hidden in the wind-blown landscape in southern Jordan, is one of the world's most treasured Unesco Heritage Sites. Voted by popular ballot in 2007 as one of the 'New Seven Wonders of the World', it has retained its magnetism even through times of strife in the wider region - Petra, Jordan

Saw these reflections in the river Avon yesterday, which put me in mind of Van Gough, Starry Night. So had a fiddle.... Like it or not... I enjoyed messing about.

“We are called to radical love…it’s that simple”
In today’s Gospel, we are called to radically love our neighbor. I use the word radical because we are familiar with it and probably not in a positive sense. What does the word radical mean? Its derivative meaning is root-the foundational life support for a plant or tree. From its beginning a trees’ root system seeks for life sustaining water…this is what a root system is for. Like a tree, “we live, move and have our being” in Jesus Christ-the maker and sustainer of all creation. In the life of Jesus, his love was radical and when this love was expressed in word and action, it was usually accompanied by people that were agitated by his love. Love was the foundational source of His creation of the earth and His mission on the earth. The ways and wisdom of the world does not recognize this radical love…it should be obvious that it rejects it. Each of us as followers of Jesus are called on to radically love.
Spiritually, we are rooted, to seek out the “source of love” that sustains us. Often scripture uses the image of water as this source. In chapter 4 of the Gospel of John; Jesus tells the Samaritan woman at the well that HE is the living water that will quench our spiritual thirst. In Psalm 42 we read a passage of scripture, that has always moved me; “Deep is calling on deep, in the roar of waters: your torrents and all your waves swept over me.” What I am describing here is our encounter with the Living God. This is the “Holy Ground” that we find with in ourselves. This is what our second reading from 1 Cor is telling us-we are the Temple of God.
When we are “aware” of how much love God has soaked us in…it would be impossible and un natural for “this love” to remain in us…it must flow out of us…seeking someone as its target. Our readings today tells us that the target is our neighbor. It is not, simply saying it to those we love but “living this love” in the way we live our lives! We cannot be fooled that this is an easy path. The path of love is hard and often thankless, because it is a sacrificial love and the model we follow is Jesus himself.
The next liturgical season on our calendar is Lent. Our focus is on Jesus and His example of living a sacrificial life. We do not sit on the sidelines, but we enter into this season by receiving a mark of ashes on our forehead…a symbol of our sacrifice for all the world to see. We choose to intimately walk with Jesus through His passion and see where HIS love leads us. Each year we are given this opportunity to “let go” of something holding us back from modeling Jesus within ourselves. Even more transforming is acquiring “a good attribute” such as doing an act of kindness everyday to a stranger. Regardless, of what we do, the important thing is that we are clearing away something that allows God’s love to shine through us to someone else. This is radical love.
Unfortunately, this radical love comes at a very high price-it did for Jesus. What is the cost of to us doing it? Discipleship maybe? As Jesus walks through his passion, close friends seem to be in short supply. His mission of love will be lonely…he can not be a spectator. His suffering presence is in profound contrast with those who profess to be religious in their hallow words…and murderous intentions.
The Christian artist Michael Card…has a song called why…
Why did it have to be a friend Who chose to betray the Lord?
And why did he use a kiss to show them That's not what a kiss is for?
Only a friend can betray a friend A stranger has nothing to gain
And only a friend comes close enough To ever cause so much pain
And why did it have to be a thorny Crown pressed upon his head?
It should have been a royal one Made of jewels and gold instead
It had to be a crown of thorns Because in this life that we live
For all that would seek to love A thorn is all the world has to give
Why did it have to be a heavy cross He was made to bear?
And why did they nail His feet and hands His love would have held him there
It was a cross for on a cross A thief was supposed to pay
And Jesus had come into the world To steal every heart away
Yes, Jesus had come into the world To steal every heart away
“They have hated me and if I am with you…they will hate you too!” Jesus warns us that following him is not without a similar suffering on our part. We will face painful rejection by the world and those who follow in its empty promises. We will be called on to change those things in us that prevent us or slow us down from following Him. We will do this out of love for him.
Creation displays how much God loves us and it is “good and beautiful.” Jesus shows us how God lives this love among us. As we walk through the season of Lent, be sure to look up at the trees that are bursting with buds. Look at the tender plants at your feet that are preparing to bloom. This is evidence of God’s creative love for us…pregnant with life…creation unfolds before our eyes. Gratitude, hope and joy is our response. But there’s more…this same God, emptied Himself….to walk with us and show us how to love and it is sacrificial. His love leads us…tenderly put in his invitation to.…”come follow me.” We follow him…to the cross he leads us. But there’s more…the promise of Easter morning.
