'Giving up thinking taking up gazing'

'Giving up thinking taking up gazing' so (according to my wonderful spiritual director/soul friend) goes the words of a wise history professor. Its a powerful statement, I'm certainly doing a lot more gazing as part of my sabbatical but also enjoying the space to think - something that is ironically often hard to do with all the pressures of normal life/work/ministry.

If you see me at the moment you may well see me with camera in hand, something which is enabling me to see things I might otherwise miss - my camera skills are slowly improving and still a long way to go to master the new technology (other than a little bit of cropping my images are still as they come from the camera.)

So a few more from the garden and a walk around Moseley...
