Tree Trunks and Transformation

Yesterday's post made me think of a photo essay that I posted on my theology blog.  It fits well with our creative pursuits too, so since time is running short this morning, I'll repost it here.  The photos were taken at Mepkin Abbey in Moncks Corner, South Carolina.

It is the time of year when I dream of new paths.

It is when I yearn for a new gate to open.

I feel like I see the answer, hiding in plain sight.

Some days, my life feels like a wrecked tree.

I need to remember that a fallen tree can be transformed into a work of art.
