Weeds of humble splendour- Look, See, Pray — Look, See, Pray

November 1, 2018

A weed is a plant growing in the wrong place. What if we valued them for what they give instead of judging them by our desire? … More Weeds of humble splendour- Look, See, Pray — Look, See, Pray

Tick Tock – Look, See, Pray

October 25, 2018

Not content with Day and Night, humanity has tried to control Time by measuring it… Thus entered the diary, the “to do” list, the deadline, and the delight of “rush hour.”
We even invented clocks. Tick, tock, ceaselessly marching towards the unknown and condemning every Present moment to become the Past. … More Tick Tock – Look, See, Pray

Sun, wind and tide- Look, See, Pray

October 18, 2018

Without electricity, our society would be in chaos within hours. Here before my eyes sun, wind and tide promised a clean supply of energy if we are only willing to make it work. No more toxic gas, no fracking, no more oil drilling and massive spills. God has provided the means and opportunity to supply our needs. … More Sun, wind and tide- Look, See, Pray

It’s not too late… Look, See, Pray

October 4, 2018

The air is cool; dew bestows delicate  diamonds on leaves, petals, spider’s webs… What I see and hear inspires me to think, write, and take photos- and then I can share some of these meditative moments with you. … More It’s not too late… Look, See, Pray

When last seen, he was still climbing… Look, See, Pray

September 27, 2018

God leads us into and through difficult experiences. Here is a quote from Proverbs 20:24 (New Living Translation) : “The LORD directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?” … More When last seen, he was still climbing… Look, See, Pray

Desolate Places? – Look, See, Pray

September 20, 2018

Salt marsh and mudflat, reeds and seawater as far as the eye can see. Even on a sunny day, there is a desolate air of wildness. Human habitation is far away. There is a great deal of nothing. … More Desolate Places? – Look, See, Pray

Morning, with Diamonds – Look, See, Pray

September 13, 2018

Everything outside was covered in sparkling beauty. Light + raindrops = diamonds. Yesterday’s trouble and change became this morning’s gift. … More Morning, with Diamonds – Look, See, Pray

Active or reflective? – Look, See, Pray

September 6, 2018

Life is (too) busy for most of us. We are always moving, working, travelling – and we are tired and stressed. These two men were crossing the river estuary in Salcombe.  The outboard motor chugged along, and the river surface was broken by the movement and bow wave. They were disturbing the peace by being … More Active or reflective? – Look, See, Pray

Doing things RIGHT. Look, See, Pray.

August 23, 2018

You might say that the Leaning Tower of Pisa is not a good example of doing it right. When you look at it, the fault is plain to see. It is a kind of magnificent blunder!  Crowds flock to see it every year, and it raises a fortune in entrance tickets. … More Doing things RIGHT. Look, See, Pray.
