A visionary like no other

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

~Steve Jobs~

Where you least expect it

Last Sunday at our little Island church, the rector spoke about crosses,  what it meant in Biblical times to be executed on a cross and the meaning of the cross in our lives today.  We were all given small wooden crosses and encouraged to carry them with us in our pockets.   I didn't have a pocket that day, so I brought my cross home and set it in a small dish on my dresser.  Periodically I think about putting it in my pocket, but it just never seems to make it there.  

Late yesterday afternoon, I went for a long walk on the beach with my camera.  It was overcast and the sun was low, but there was a lovely glow on the water and the sand.  I wandered to one of my favorite places on the beach, where overturned trees and roots reach out into the Gulf.   This is a photograph of what captured my eye.  It seems that those crosses have stayed with me.....just not in my pocket.
