Spiritual Imagery Through Photography

October 20, 2007
11:00 am - 3:00 pm
Niles Cabin

This event offers an opportunity for those who want to capture images found in natural settings that bring inspiration and awe to the viewer. This is a day to experiment, sample, share and discuss images rather than a formal class involving photographic techniques. We will explore the opportunities that the woods, fields, ponds, streams, and trails of the Rolling Ridge property provide to capture the extraordinary grandeur and simple elegance of the natural world.

Location: Meet at Niles cabin at 11:00 am. We will finish at 3:00 pm. Lunch is available for $7.00. The event will be led by amateur nature photograher Lisa Payne. Call Sheila Bach at 304/728-4820 or email snbach@earthlink.net for more information.

Quote of the Day

...The storm, the shifter of shapes, drives on
across the woods and across time,
and the world looks as if it had no age...

What we choose to fight is so tiny!
What fights with us is so great!
If only we would let ourselves be dominated
as things do by some immense storm,
we would become strong too,
and not need names.

When we win it's with small things,
and the triumph itself makes us small.
What is extraordinary and eternal
does not want to be bent by us...

Whoever was beaten by this Angel
(who often simply declined the fight)
went away proud and strengthened
and great from that harsh hand,
that kneaded him as if to change his shape.
Winning does not tempt that man.
This is how he grows:
by being defeated, decisively,
by constantly greater beings.

~ Rainer Maria Rilke, trans. Robert Bly from "The Man Watching" in SELECTED POEMS OF RAINER MARIA RILKE
