Kenosis and Dialogismo
κένωσις - the emptying of oneself; διαλογισμό - meditation. Just reflecting and thinking about many things lately. The shot below is in Acuña, Mexico a few years back. Makes me stop and reflect on what I do, don't do, and why. Reflection. Meditation.
Kenosis and Dialogismo.

Magnolia Plantation
Just a poem to break up the pho-notony...
JOY TO NEVER CEASE (Magnolia Plantation)
Walking in the cool midday in the garden,
bright sunshine lights the Spanish moss to glowing;
wandering along flower-lined paths in the sun –
God’s Word created all to see for the knowing…
Towering live oak trees sprawl to the heavens,
only the hanging moss is moved by the breeze;
so my faith in Christ rooted so deep stands –
circumstances blow to and fro my ease.
Further on still waters reflect a bird sunning,
deep reflections show the growth all around;
times of refreshing in the Son’s light so inspiring –
these times examine my soul’s state of sound.
Lodged in an old oak perched over the river’s side,
between the moss hangs a brown owl in a hole;
so I look out over still waters between life’s tide –
and there find my rest in the palm of His hand so whole.
Slowly walking back to leave this day behind,
the lasting sight fills my soul with peace sublime;
each day with my Lord, Creator of my salvation –
each day to reflect upon, deep joy to never cease!

Swan Lake Views
Shot today with a new VR 70-300 lens, trying spot metering and other things. Here are some shots from the walk today. I tried to capture the colors and the light-dark playing in the flowers, leaves, and water. This is a glimpse into my 2 hours walking with God in His garden. It is good...
Feel free to leave comments!

Special FX
These are artistic expressions from Cambridge, Charleston, Edisto Island, Pickins, Sumter, and Washington DC. I used various solarization and contrast techniques, along with
sepia toning, to get the feeling of the moments I experienced at those times.
