This painting, that combines a metal ladder, came to being out of a great love for nature. Those early morning canoe or rowboat rides across a still and beautiful lake bring us into the present like no other. How to hold such beauty in our hearts? The ladder represents a sense of hanging on to what we love, to what is lovely…deep within. At the Lake excerpt by Mary Oliver This is, I think, what holiness is: the natural world, where every moment is full of the passion to keep moving. I’ve knelt there, and so have you, hanging on to what you love, to what is lovely.
