iN BENEDICTION
ARTIST: Brent Schauer, Portland, Oregon
BRENT SCHAUER is not only an accomplished photographer, he is also an avid bird- watcher. Those two combine in a very amazing way to help us all take notice of the ways the beauty of these birds adorn our skies, our gardens and our world. Have you seen the Rufous-tailed Hummingbird today? Or the Vermillion Flycatcher? Two lovely birds of our Pacific Northwest. We can see them up-close and then they are gone.
Like birds
We gather to share our colors and shapes with one another.
Our gathering is a pause that brings us together in different ways of being human.
Now we fly away, to the other times and places —
to the highways, to the alleys. to trash heaps and to mountain peaks
to our loves and to our conflicts, to our pains and to our pleasures.
Go! Discover the ways GodSpirit is already where you are going.
Go! Discover GodSpirit is already in your living and breathing.
Go! Discover how YOU are as colorful and tremendous as
a bird’s flight through sky.
