Drink of Love

Drink of Love

“Drink of Love…solace your soul…a radiant heart…drink from Love’s Hand…Keep remembering God, Keep remembering God, Keep remembering…God is here, gently watching, sweetly waiting for you to accept help…Come, come, bring your cup. I have an endlessly leaking barrel of light and laughter which the Beloved has strapped to my back. I want more than all the world to quench your thirst…Drink this freedom and you will know…and want nothing more than to give Love.”

Hafez, ancient Persian poet. Learn more here– Angels Knocking on the Tavern Door: 30 Poems of Hafez

Contemplative Photography (see more images on the document below)

  1. Taking a “long and loving look,” what do I see in this image? What stands out to me?
  2. “Listening” with my eyes and my heart, how do I receive the invitation in this image?
  3. What is the “story” that this image tells me? Where am I in this story? What feelings arise in me?
  4. How does this image connect with what is going on in my life at this time?
  5. What is waiting to be revealed?
  6. What draws me to this image?
  7. What pierces me about this image?

“There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect.” (G.K. Chesterton)
