and really meant it




Down on the lake rosy reflections of celestial vapor appeared, and I said, "God, I love you" and looked to the sky and really meant it. "I have fallen in love with you, God. Take care of us all, one way or the other." To the children and the innocent it's all the same.  

― Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums

  1. Wonderful marriage of picture and text! I love JK. I'm sure there's a little piece of him in my soul.

    1. Thanks, Robert. There's a freedom in JK that is contagious, isn't there.

  2. No one takes photos like you, Ruth! It must be your poetic soul that enables you to capture that something extra...

    ...one way or the other... love that.

    1. Oh, Margaret, thank you so very much. It just seems that some scenes are poetic in themselves. I really feel your generosity. You are an amazing photographer yourself!

  4. Ruth, have you heard this recording? It is a marvellous reading from "The Dharma Bums" and one of my favorites. (The Chartres Cathedral story is, too.)
