behind a face

"I realize there is nothing more astonishing than a human face...It has something to do with incarnation...Any human face is a claim on you, because you can't but understand the singularity of it, the courage and the loneliness of it."

--from Gilead by Marilynne Robinson

I love this picture. It reminds me that every single one of us has a story. What life experiences, thoughts, emotions, have made up the wrinkles on this beautiful face? I pray that in my constant pursuit not to judge, I will remember that each person has a story, unique, meaningful, and for me to learn from and love.

I loved Gilead! It was so much about seeing the sacred in the most common things.
