I did find the following beautiful text in a blog with one of my photos and even if I am a Pantheist (or all the more because...), I want to bring it here:
"The Helix Of Beauty"

"A few years ago, John O'Donohue wrote a book entitled Beauty:
The Invisible Embrace, a meditative discourse on the nature of beauty and how it awakens all that is noble in the human heart.
I am going to share with you a section in which he comments on a famous piece of Celtic poetry.
The Celtic Imagination often expressed spiritual insight in poetic form, as in 'The Deer's Cry' from The Confession of St Patrick:
I arise today
through strength in the sky:
light of sun
moon's reflection
dazzle of fire
speed of lightning
wild wind
deep sea
firm earth
hard rock.
I arise today
With God's strength to pilot me:
God's might to uphold me
God's wisdom to guide me
God's eye to look ahead for me
God's ear to hear me
God's word to speak for me
God's hand to defend me
God's way to lie before me
God's shield to protect me
God's host to safeguard me.
(translated by John Skinner)
For the Celtic Imagination all of these images held a numinous and sacred resonance.
This poem evokes the beauty of creation and the beauty of God as a single helix of presence.
At its deepest level, beauty holds everything together as one pervasive presence.
Nature and self have beauty because they participate in and express the presence of the one who is beautiful to know, the one whose fiery passion creates, sustains and welcomes everything.
The incantatory 'I arise' brings out the mystery of awakening. The self does not awaken to find itself trapped in an isolated subjectivity, rather it awakens to ultimate participation; it is a living threshold between nature and divinity, a presence that is wild, free, diverse and indivisible."

Thank you for visiting my profile.
If you add me as contact please you have to know something:
My English is very less, unfortunately!
(The most of English I know, I learned in flickr :) I can´t write and speek much,
but I can catch the meaning mostly if I read and hear)
When I do comments, they may be short and simple.
I created a several groups and if you will receive an invitation,
please take it insteed of a long comment and as appreciation for your works.
In "real" live I am talking very much, sometimes too much,
maybe this is also the reason why I don´t talk so much in flickr.
Flickr is my corner in live, mostly just to have communication visually.

"For a long time I thought what's the best way to characterize Renate's photos.
Well, I think it's her own very special style of seeing and photographing the things around her. And her preference for colors. Especially this kind of colors which are not so common and which mother nature presents us only in rare moments or at very momentous occasions. Yes, I think this distinguishes her photos mainly from the images of other photographers.
Dear Renate, please keep being so and don't stop to spoil the flickr community with your very personal kind of seeing the things surrounding you. I'm very glad to call you one of my flickr-friends!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lange habe ich überlegt, wie ich Renate's Fotos wohl am besten charakterisieren könnte.
Ich glaube, es ist ihre ganz spezielle Art und Weise, die Dinge zu sehen und im Bild festzuhalten. Und ihre Vorliebe für Farben. Farben, wie sie nicht alltäglich sind und wie sie uns Mutter Natur nur ins ganz seltenen Fällen oder zu besonderen Anlässen zeigt. Ja, ich glaube, das ist es, was Renate's Fotos auszeichnet und von den Bildern anderer Fotografen deutlich abhebt!
Liebe Renate, bitte bleib so wie du bist und verwöhne die flickr-Gemeinde auch weiterhin mit deiner ganz besonderen Art, die Dinge zu sehen. Ich freue mich, dich zu meinen flickr-Freunden zählen zu dürfen!"16th March, 2007

""Renate is a beautiful woman, inside and outside.
She lives in a heavenly world, surrounded by the most amazing nature - her beautiful Germany. If you want to have a "dreamy" travel through her world, take a look at her very special photostream. You will get "lost" in it, just as I did, and still do. It´s a pleasure to see Renate´s fantastic work as a photographer.
And then, there are Rowdy and Sandy, her lovely dogs. Get to know them. It´s worth it.
Renate, I thank you so much for your dear presence all the time, as a contact on flickr and as a friend. I enjoy your comments so much and can´t wait to read them, every day.
Thank you, also, for being friendly and helpful. This means a lot to me.
A BIG (((( HUG ))))
...and never stop taking these absolutely wonderful shots for us...
