Empty in God

Stormy sunrise on Jekyll Island, Georgia.

When I stand empty in God’s will and empty of God’s will and of all His works and of God Himself, then am I above all creatures and am neither God nor creature, but I am what I was and evermore shall be.

~~Meister Eckhart

The Holiest of All Holidays

Sunrise on Tybee Island, Georgia

The holiest of all holidays are those
Kept by ourselves in silence and apart;
The secret anniversaries of the heart,
When the full river of feeling overflows;–
The happy days unclouded to their close;
The sudden joys that out of darkness start
As flames from ashes; swift desires that dart
Like swallows singing down each wind that blows!
White as the gleam of a receding sail,
White as a cloud that floats and fades in air,
White as the whitest lily on a stream,
These tender memories are;–a fairy tale
Of some enchanted land we know not where,
But lovely as a landscape in a dream.

~~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

On my recent retreat, I took a number of macro shots while walking the beach at sunrise on Saint Simons Island. I’ve posted a few shots here, and the remainder can be seen here: Beach Macros
