Inscribed

Christine at Abbey of the Arts has issued an invitation to the 27th Poetry Party. She chooses a photograph and invites us to respond with words. This week the photograph was taken on Innishmore, an Aran Island that touched my heart in 2005. I love the image!

This week's party was inspired by Christine's book-signing and the sense of connection between reader and author, and by the words of scripture that came to her:

“You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by everyone (2 Corinthians 3:2).

As she reflected later on the ways in which the sacred is inscribed onto her heart, and her work is to share those words as well as possible. Words like Love. Silence. Justice. Contemplation. Beauty. Words made substantive, enfleshed.

What are the words inscribed on your heart?

(the image was taken in the summer of 2007 on Inishmore, one of the Aran Islands in Ireland)
