Monday Light: Jared C. White

Serene Lake

(Jared C. White) — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 08:27:33 GMT

By the still waters I am led, for I know my rest is in Him.

Lost in Paradise

(Jared C. White) — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 08:28:33 GMT

In the heat of the moment, a choice breath of cool wind refreshes the soul.

Energy is a Constant

(Jared C. White) — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 08:42:15 GMT

Fleeing from power is futile, but remember there is always a greater power than the one we initially know.

Shining Sun on Lily Pond

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 17:43:54 GMT

"The burning sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water; in the haunt of jackals, where they lie down, the grass shall become reeds and rushes."

Isaiah 35:7

The Crossing

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 16:58:02 GMT

We can only see what we are already looking for. To cross over into a realm of the unexpected, we need to look for that which we have not yet seen.

Perception of the Annunciation

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 21:15:30 GMT

I made this photographic image in Photoshop during evening worship at the Prophetic Arts conference at Bethel Church in Redding, CA. All elements except for the globe were extracted from photos taken at Lake Berryessa east of Napa.

There are multiple layers of symbolism to this piece, some of which wasn't revealed to me until days later. The pillar of rock-like wood on the left represents God's stability and strength. The rushing waters and shafts of light are the manifestation of His glory, and they're pointing towards Earth. The orb of the earth itself represents the Holy Spirit, and there are two more orbs in the rock representing the Father and the Son. The pink ribbon at the bottom-right corner testifies to God's sweet presence and good will towards men. I'm sure there are many other layers of revelation which perhaps only you may discover!

Open to Possibilities

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 01:16:21 GMT

We see but through a mirror, darkly, but one day we will see face to face...

(tech note: this is not an HDR image. I simply tweaked the photo in Adobe Lightroom before export.)

Circle of Light

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 14:46:37 GMT

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

-- William Butler Yeats (Aedh Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven)

Old Knarled Oak

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:11:08 GMT

Wisdom, strength, longsuffering, righteousness

(tech note: taken with an old OM-mount Tokina 70-200mm lens via an adapter...only manual control!)

Spring is in the Air

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:12:42 GMT

I'm so bored of little gods
While standing on the edge of something large
While standing here, so close to You
We could be consumed
What a glorious day
What a wonderful day, today

-- David Crowder Band (How Great)

(tech note: taken with an old OM-mount 28-70mm lens...only manual control!)

Nature's Pinafore

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 14:26:51 GMT

Beauty lies in the expression of the soul
Grace, like Nature's Pinafore, hangs in the balance
Elemental, it does not seek its own counsel
A sad, older tune weaves it to fruition
Tears shimmer in a stardust rain.

-- Jared White

Aquamarine

Remembering Joshua

The Old Meadow

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:31:58 GMT

I just came back from another trip to Hendy Woods. What an amazing place. This lovely meadow stole my heart away, and I only wish you could have been there on this beautiful spring day.

Integrity is Wholeness

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 05 May 2008 22:40:25 GMT

Organic wholeness, the wholeness of life and things, the divine beauty
of the universe. Love that, not man
Apart from that, or else you will share man's pitiful confusions,
or drown in despair when his days darken.

-- Robinson Jeffers (extract from The Answer)

Looking Westward from Angel Island

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 12 May 2008 19:09:44 GMT

Angel Island is located in the San Francisco Bay just northeast of the Golden Gate Bridge. From its peak at Mt. Livermore you can see a 360 degree panorama of the Bay Area. This is but one of many lovely sights we saw on our trek this past Saturday to Angel Island.

Home on the Range

Let us strive on to finish the work we are in

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 26 May 2008 14:54:13 GMT

"With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan -- to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations."

-- Abraham Lincoln, Second Inagural Address, March 4, 1865

The Answer is in the Waiting

(Jared C. White) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:35:12 GMT

Then I hear you sing to me
"You don't have to do a thing
Just simply be with me and let those things go
They can wait another minute
Wait this moment is too sweet
Won't you please stay here with me
And love on me a little longer
Cause I'm in love with you"

-- A Little Longer (by Jenn Johnson)

Glory Falling Down

Yosemite Valley

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:56:25 GMT

From my June 2008 trip

Summer Road

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:34:06 GMT

I took my camera and my new telephoto lens out onto a favorite little out-of-the-way road of mine. It was hot, the grass was burnt, and the air quality was medicore due to state-wide wildfires. Yet, something I'm coming to realize is that if you can't find beauty or perspective in the ugliest of situations, you just aren't looking hard enough. The diamond is waiting to be discovered.

I found my diamond on a little out-of-the-way road when the day was thick and the air smelled like grass-burnt dust.

Sleeping in Serenity

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:52:48 GMT

The famous Half Dome of Yosemite Valley. From my June 2008 trip.

Seeing Past the Edge of Tomorrow

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:41:18 GMT

I have always been facinated with the idea of portals that let you travel to other worlds. This picture looks like a portal to me.

Time is Slipping Down

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 15:37:09 GMT

Where were you on the night of July the 18th at 5:45 PM?

Ready for Action

(Jared C. White) — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 16:59:44 GMT

Buster the Cat. The neighbor's cat. He thinks he's my cat. He sneaks into my house. He jumps up on my car. He stares at me every time I open my door. He's hecka annoying. But one thing I like about him is, he's there. And he's ready for action.

Plantation
