You’ll never believe what I love to take pictures of. Well,
since you have seen the picture you have probably already guessed the answer to
this question! Yes, I love to take pictures of mushrooms. More than birds. More
than people. Why? They don’t move. You
don’t have to wait for them to smile. They just sit there waiting patiently to
be photographed. It amazes me sometimes the places they show up. In the middle
of busy urban areas I’ve seen them sprouting in small planters while thousands
of people parade by without a moments notice.
They are quiet. They are still. They don’t really sway much
in the wind. They are just fungus! I wish I were more like mushrooms. Not because I’d like to
be a fungi. I’d like to be more meditative. I’d like to provide shelter for
fairies and frogs. I’d like to just sit patiently while waiting. I want to be
quiet. I want to rest. I want to be a mushroom.
When I’m done with this post that’s what I’m going to do. I’m
going to be still. I’m going to rest. I’m
going let the parade of life go on around me as I sit and listen to God. I’m
going to be still and know that He is God. I’ll open His book and listen to His voice
whispering, “I love you!”
"I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With
unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.” Jeremiah 31:3
"Be still, and know
that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout
the world." Psalm 46:10
