When we meditate on pictures of Jesus our hearts are transformed. Gazing, either through images, poetry, dance or song, fills our hearts and helps us to touch the divine nature of God that lives within us.

Whisper Prayers of Wonder
I came to the conclusion that when I’m in my Abba’s presence, I do not need to say anything. He and I walk together quietly and there is peace in my heart and mind.

Notice how he gives us a sort of bird’s eye view of a village that is very brightly light by the moon. Shadows are cast long as the road wides around the church and into the distance.

I believe my mother had a reproduction of this painting hanging on the wall of our house in California, so it could represent…
