I love this photo. I am grateful to have one in the series.
The one I have is the small table in a chapel I think, and there are
candles on the table, marking the prayers of pilgrims. It calls me
to prayer and stirs my heart. This place and these arches speak of
all the doors that come up in our lives, and the strong solid door is
ajar calling us in. Thanks.

My first thought was years of wisdom and rethought my thought and came up with reflecting on youth. As I grow older, I often wonder, ” Did I do enough to please Him?

I am glad I stumbled on your web site. It is very well done. I have been working on a series that is very similar to what you’re doing here. It is called “The Koans of Seeing”. The Koans of Seeing is a series of visual koans that can only be responded to authentically, by the photographer, in a photograph. No thought, conceptual idea, or analytical process can solve the koan. An authentic photograph is one that is taken by the artist with no conceptual, cultural, or copied residual vision or thought. Authentic response is always intuitive and original. Examples are; Infinity, Seeing Through, The Blank Wall, How long is a Moment?

A warm smile
at the exercise (or lack thereof) of your thoughts
and the delightful resulting image.

Is this water lily the one you photographed? If so, could we see the one the nine-year old girl took?
