Waiting to unfold

Mepkin Abbey near Charleston, South Carolian

The Virgina cradles her Infant, a camellia bud in the fold of her garment. 

A camellia forever in full bloom.
In Korea, they were carried in weddings to express faithfulness.


These were the images I carried from the serene abbey in the South Carolina country side. Some fired on clay tiles, some carved in stone- some from God's own hand.


Ferns
Even the unseen has form and beauty

Ferns

Birth of new fern

Unfurled perfection



Beauty in the small beginnings,
Waiting to open. 



I am in North Carolina and we are watiting. 
Appreciating the beauty of a bulging belly,
Trusting the timing of a new life to unfold,

Waiting.
