… filling the folds of the living room curtains
… reminding me of the stained glass windows I’ve been privileged to photograph of late
… . and in those windows to see how the sunlight strikes the glass, filling the folds of the robes of the saints and angels and the ordinary folk living their lives
… and I can’t help but think, given all that’s happening in all parts of the world, how lucky I am to be able to sit for a moment and capture the sun’s path across a single window

catching early morning light
my view one morning as I lazed in bed

Detail from Purity by John La Farge
Designed and executed by artists and stained glass manufacturers like John La Farge, Clayton and Bell, Burlison and Grylls, and others, these particular stained glass windows at Trinity Church in the City of Boston are “hidden gems.”

They are located in the Parish House. In part, due to renovation activities at different times over the past 100 years, some of the windows are now in stairwells, like Purity as well as John Hardman and Company’s Woods Window …

others are in restricted areas like Ephphatha by Burlison and Grylls …

and others in areas dedicated to use by parishoners of all ages like The Sunday-School Windows by Clayton & Bell.
They are not windows accessible as part of a traditional art and architecture tour of the sanctuary, but it has been my pleasure this summer to roam the halls a bit with my camera and to share this glimpse of details from some of the windows. Postcards and prints, and information about tours, are available at the Trinity Book Shop.

… I do see nebula …
… and supernovas …
… and all sorts of stellar events …
… all within a single leaf, found on the ground yesterday, as I walked home.
And as I carried that single leaf in one hand and all of my groceries in the other hand, I had to chuckle because I was reminded of how my parents worried when I went out walking by myself. They thought that my head would be lost in the clouds. How right they were. Anyway … have a good day, folks. 😉
