Come walk with Me
There are several paths I take in my morning walks
but the one which leads me toward the sunlight is my favorite.
And I think of how HE who is the Light is constantly wooing, calling, drawing me to Him.
And how there are times I run toward HIM, my pace fueled by a desperate need.
And other times, I am like a child caught up in playtime, reluctant to give up what has my attention,
And I say, “I am coming,” while still in place or walk toward HIM with my gaze fixed on what I am leaving behind.
But HIS invitation is never withdrawn and, although gentle, HE is relentless in his wooing,”Come. Walk with ME. Life is better in the light and with the LIGHT.” And I am thankful.
Developing Your Eye: Day 6, Solitude
Solitude
Defined as a state or situation of being alone by choice
Sometimes it is a need.
Not just a preference.

Developing Your Eye: Day 5, Connect
Fences are physical boundaries, it is true.
But personal boundaries facilitate connection
because to connect with another person in a healthy manner,
each must be clear where he/she stops and the other begins.
Also, it must be clear what is acceptable and what is not.
“Fences” or personal boundaries promote healthy connection.

Developing Your Eye, Day 3: Water
I thought of capturing the fountain in a small park but it was waterless when I drove by. Also thought of a man-made lake near a local golf course in my town but could not see a place to park which did not require me navigating a somewhat busy street on foot. Then the words, “a cup of water in My name,” came to mind. I recognized it as a phrase from a Scripture verse, which a subsequent search revealed to be Mark 9:41. I decided to photograph a cup of water and placed it outside on my deck as a symbol of the “cups of water” such as hope and encouragement that are desperately needed in our world more than ever now, and which we all can offer, even if only to one person.

Street
I had been contemplating what image to capture for Day 2 of The Daily Post: Developing Your Eye. Then, on my morning walk, I saw this chair in a vacant lot (where I previously saw a television set). I burst into laughter – both at the strangeness of what I was seeing but also because I knew I had found the image I wanted to capture. Although the chair was not on the street, I thought its position next to the street provided the two basic components for the photo, a foreground and a background.
Home
The town of my birth was divided by a river and my family home was the equivalent of two blocks away from the river. Beginning in childhood, I crossed the river at least once per week. Perhaps this is one reason that I love being near large bodies of water and why this body of water in Ft. Worth, TX, reminds me of home.
