Sometimes, I wonder about the currents or movements within myself...I question my spirituality...are these just fantasy's of my own making? Because of such questions, I'm constantly looking for identification from the potpourri of everything that surrounds me. Such confirmation is found in the books that are placed in my path, which are like little threads of light...that lead me off the well worn trail...into the grass. I like tall grass...that makes me think about the new territory, I might be encountering. What, I have found is that these new paths...are new to me...but they are not new.
Maybe that is why, one of my companions for testing my own spiritual authenticity, has been Thomas Merton. We all are making this journey...but some of us tread new paths and discover a wonder or light....that is felt so deeply but so very difficult to articulate.

If there is a clear thread running through these early notes on the Russians, it is Merton’s admiration for their theological creativity, their willingness to make mistakes “in order to say something great and worthy of God.” “One wonders,” Merton muses, “if our theological cautiousness is not after all the sign of a fatal coldness of heart, an awful sterility born of fear, or of despair.”40 But there is also a clear enthusiasm for the Russians’ willingness to say something great and worthy about humanity. “Reading such things,” he confesses, “one is struck with compunction. Look at us! What are we doing? What have I done?”41

A day in the office today - first time in a few months. We had a really useful in-person team meeting with lots of constructive discussion, and it was lovely to see people again! I sat over at the Barbican at lunch with Joanna and Alfie, and we popped in to the Shilpa Gupta exhibition in the Curve gallery on the way back. My first time in a gallery in a couple of years! It was a good one too - I recommend it.
Really tired by this afternoon. I nipped out for a couple of minutes when I could see the sky turning a beautiful pink and purple (actually, I missed most of the pink bit), and took a few photos.
Exhausted by this evening, and missing Tim, so I was happy to get home shortly before 7pm.
A view looking upward along a downtown Chicago street canyon, with an elevated CTA train crossing the frame as older masonry buildings and a modern glass tower rise into a blue, cloud-dotted sky. Strong vertical lines, layered architecture, and the motion of the train create a sense of scale and energy in the heart of the city.
Photographed near the Palmer House hotel in Chicago, using a Nikon Zf paired with the 24–120mm f/4 lens.
