My best friend sent me a link to Abbey of the Arts, a guide to transformative living through contemplative and expressive arts. I was so stunned by the vibrant reds of the tulips contrasted with the ethereal blacks and whites of Christine Valters-Paintner’s photos that it has taken me a few days to want to share them.
Keeping them all to myself seemed necessary; I wanted to secretly enjoy them first. How selfish! But delightful!

Look at what she does with a camera; how she lets the photos speak. Completely lovely!
She begins her Visual Meditation: “The faces of tulips” with a poetic excerpt from Mary Oliver, one of my favourite writers.
Hello, you who made the morning
and spread it over the fields
and into the faces of the tulips
~Mary Oliver
