The Stairway To?

  As I was looking through my archived images, this photo I found has appeal in the beauty of its abstraction.  It is the mix of patterns, colors,  balance, perspective, and the reflective surfaces -- everything about it. Maybe it is the expression of beauty that is the manifestation of the creative energy that flows through all things.. Everything in our world has different aspects of being. In photography, the photographer is always looking for light, shadows, angles, unusual subject matter, and the heart felt appeal to the subject. What I like most about the abstractness of this image, is that there is not one conclusion,  not one right answer, it is left up to the individual to interpret and feel what is speaking to them. I liken this to our Lord, God that also has parts of this image entwined in the essence of this concept. It is the beauty of form that lifts our eyes beyond the commonplace. In Joan Chittisler book The Illuminated Life she says, " We must remove the clutter from our lives, surround ourselves with beauty, and consciously, relentlessly, persistently, give it away until the tiny world from which we ourselves are responsible begins to reflect the raw beauty that God is."

 

So I find these images here, like the works of art in museums whose subjects feed my eyes and soul.
