Briggy's world

St. Brigid of Ireland

Everything that St. Brigid would ask of God was granted her at once. For this was her desire: to satisfy the poor, to expel every hardship, to spare every miserable man. Now there never hath been anyone more bashful or more modest or more gentle or more humble or more dsicerning and more harmonious that St. Brigid. In the sight of other people she never washed her hands or her feet or head. She never looked at the face of man. She never spoke without blushing. She was abstemious, innocent, prayerful, patient: and she was glad in God's Commandments; she was firm yet forgiving and loving; she was a cinsecrated casket for keeping Christ's Sacred Body and His Precious Blood; she was a temple of God. Her heart and her mind were a throne of rest for the Holy Ghost, and she was single-hearted towards God; so compassionate towards the wretched and splendid in miracles and marvels that her name among created things is Dove among the bird, Vine among trees, Sun among stars . . . she is the prophetess of Christ, the Queen of the South and she is the Mary of Gael or Ireland . . .

Une pensée pour mon oncle qui s'en est allé ce matin.

Steve McCurry est né le 24 février 1950 à Philadelphie, dans l'État de Pennsylvanie aux Etats-Unis. Il est membre de l'Agence Magnum depuis 1986. Il parcourt le monde à la recherche de ce qu'il appelle « l'inattendu, le moment du hasard maîtrisé, qui permet de découvrir par accident des choses intéressantes que l'on ne cherchait pas. » Il est très connu pour sa photographie en couleur très évocatrice, dans la tradition du reportage documentaire.

J'adore la nouvelle couleur appliquée sur mes pieds !

La couleur est un peu pâle. Je pense que je vais vite me lasser de ce choix !
