The Placid Space
When we were leaving this church, a man from down the road drove up on his riding lawnmower to see if we were the people who were supposed to come give an estimate on repainting the place. (It needed it.)
Then we had a chat, because it’s Texas and we’re friendly and all that stuff. He said he and his wife had traveled to Russia and China and Europe. It made our day’s journey from College Station to Lubbock seem mundane. But I bet in all his travels he never saw a church quite as lovely as the one right there, flooded with sunlight, with muffled road noises and racks of worn hymnals and a bug on the Bible.

…of Saint John the Divine, and a bug
This scene reminded me of something I photographed on my 2015 trip to Nova Scotia.
Only this time, there was a bug crawling up the pages of the Bible.

Outside the hallowed walls
I like stained glass windows. I like them a lot.
But this was nice, too, the way regular life was still visible through to church’s clear glass windows.
