When the object and the subject of my prayer become one, I can move mountains.

I know this to be true, for I have experienced it firsthand.

It requires an intensity of focus that is not easy to achieve and only comes with practice.

Some call it meditation.
But I call it prayer.
Many of you ask, “How do you get those amazing photographs?”
The answer might not be what you expect, for the secret lies not in the camera or even in the photographer. The secret lies in a prayer.
When I am still in nature, I feel a divine energy swirling radiant beauty all around me, and my soul radiates a grateful prayer.
The more grateful I am, the more beauty I see.
The secret to answered prayer lies in FEELING the result of the prayer and . . .
knowing with absolute certainty that answer is possible.

The Gospel of Thomas verse 106: Jesus said: When you make the two one, (thought and feeling) you will become sons of man, and when you say: Mountain, move away, it will move away.

I’ve felt the same, an opening if you will. Always love your photos, the fawn is sweet and the peacock (I forgot his name… Charlie?) is handsome as ever!

Hi Eliza, The peacock is Chester– I think? The babies have grown, and I now have so many visitors I am never really sure who I am talking to.

I pause for yours as well, but summer has been so busy I haven’t had time for much pausing. Hope to return to normal soon.

Just what I needed to get to my center after a very busy day. Remember, every thought is a prayer, whether an active act or just living your day. God hears every word and thought.
