The Water Drop

Photograph

Artist Statement: In the middle of the developing pandemic, I enjoyed a special quiet experience while photographing in my backyard garden. After an early morning rain, one of our Calla Lilies formed a beautiful water drop that attracted me. The Epiphany experience has many different ways of revealing the loving presence our Lord offers, even to those who take time to see a simple drop of water. The psalmist declares-"My God in his steadfast love will meet me". (Psalm 59:10a)
