When we use the cross walk, we press
the button and wait for the light.
In prayer, too, we wait for the light,
but there is no assurance of safety.
That is not what we are seeking.
We open ourselves to the Spirit,
who leads us where it will,
if we can follow the ways of love.
That does not mean we walk thru traffic,
or behave stupidly, oblivious to danger.
It means we walk humbly with our God,
to whatever cross we are asked to ascend..

Photo of two people using a cross walk. The shutter is open for 1/3 of a second,
and the camera and people are moving, making everything blur.

Danny, it's amazing all the photographic effects you come up with...so interesting and gives the picture so many layers. I especially like the last lines of this one. You always give us something to stop and think about in this crazy, hectic world.

Thanks for this reminder Danny. Good words. [Author's Note: I thought of Dave Von Bieker as I was writing this. Like me, he claims little credit for the creative process, which is mysterious and minimally managed. Dave creates art and community in Edmonton, Canada. See: http://vonbieker.com/ ]
