“When
someone gave him a camera, Thomas Merton delighted in photographing the most
ordinary things he could find: an old wheel, a discarded board with protruding
nail, a stump or gnarled root, a simple chair on his hermitage porch. In each
he found a unique beauty….In the beauty of the ordinary Merton reverenced the
sacred.” Sr. Lenora Black, OSB
“Stop and smell
the coffee” comes to mind when I read about Thomas Merton photographing
ordinary things. We are missing out on
so many mysterious and wonderful things because we are just too busy. Stop and see all the the sacred that can be found in the ordinary.
