Beauty in Death



I find that I'm drawn to things that are old... and dead. Not in a morbid sort of way, but I see the beauty that is there and imagine what was.

  5. You wrote this just for me today, didn't you? I could not help but think of John 12:24-25 in The Message: Unless a grain of wheat is buried in the ground, dead to the world, it is never any more than a grain of wheat. But if it is buried, it sprouts and reproduces itself many times over. In the same way, anyone who holds on to life just as it is destroys that life. But if you let it go, reckless in your love, you’ll have it forever, real and eternal. What may seem dead to those who see only the temporal, live on forever to those with their eyes on the eternal. Bless you today, Roxi. You made my heart sing.

  9. I agree...there is something so beautifully eloquent about all these things...they have character; they draw my in and tell a story.

    Great edits too! Adding a richness to the images without being overbearing.
