Love and faith are not common companions. More commonly power and fear consort with faith... Power is not to be crossed; one must respect and obey.

For spiritual companions I have had the many artists who have relied on nature to help shape their imagination. And their most elaborate equipment was a deep reverence for the world through which they passed. Photographers share something with these artists. We seek only to see and to describe with our own voices, and, though we are seldom heard as soloists, we cannot photograph the world in any other way Picture Quote #1

I have learned to prize holy ignorance more highly than religious certainty and to seek companions who have arrived at the same place. We are a motley crew, distinguished not only by our inability to explain ourselves to those who are more certain of their beliefs than we are but in many cases by our distance from the centers of our faith communities as well Picture Quote #1

We are called to be strong companions and clear mirrors to one another, to seek those who reflect with compassion and a keen eye how we are doing, whether we seem centered or off course... we need the nourishing company of others to create the circle needed for growth, freedom and healing Picture Quote #1

I and my companions suffer from a disease of the heart which can be cured only with gold Picture Quote #1
