I who write this am Thomas, the Double, the Twin.
Yeshua, the Living Master spoke,
and his secret sayings I have written down.
I assure you, whoever grasps their meaning
will not know the taste of death.

"This is indeed a great resource, from a person whose being is as lovely as her photography... It just goes to show that creativity is as valid a way of 'knowing' a text as is scholarly exegesis--and much more in the spirit of what was originally meant by 'gnosis,' or integral knowing." -- Cynthia Bourgeault

So lovely, Diane. Both the words and your photo. Very peaceful and calming and contemplative.
I'm going to give you a shout-out on my blog. The Gospel will attract a following, I am certain.
The mirror image is like Thomas and the twin!
I was trying to tell a friend writing about the Jewish Torah at the intersection with other spiritual traditions why I liked her words so much. In some places she declared her truth, but in other places she wrote around her topic - probing and withdrawing, suggesting an outline of an idea but not filling it in, but rather letting it trail off, leaving space for the reader's own experience or own inspiration to provide any necessary completion.
I was having trouble coming up with words to tell her exactly how her writing struck me, and you provided them in this inscription: descriptive, yet leaving space for the mystery, the numinous.
Thank you.
Thank you, David, for sharing your thoughts🙂
