The multiplicity of forms! The hummingbird, the fox, the raven, the sparrow hawk, the otter, the dragonfly, the water lily! And on and on. It must be a great disappointment to God if we are not dazzled at least ten times a day.
Mary Oliver, from “Good Morning” in Blue Horses: Poems
A world with God and a world without God is both exactly the same and completely different. A man knows a woman at work; he falls in love with her and their world has changed despite the fact that nothing has changed physically; the difference is love.
Why are we so blind to the obvious? We walk outside of ourselves and are blinded by the light that is reality. More often we hunker down inside ourselves and become wretched for lack of the love that we deny ourselves; like plants growing in the dark, we distort and blanch inside ourselves, when all we need to do is open the door. I try to photograph the dazzling truth of life that we can only bear to see on occasion; rendered to allow some appreciation of the dazzling creation that we are born into.
