100 Word Meditation on a Photo (1) King’s College Aberdeen

The beauty of old wood, satin to the touch, warm and worn to a dust induced patina, painstakingly rubbed by accident or intent, polished by a procession of worshippers, done and dusted over decades.

The interlocking triunity of carved circles are symbols of grace love and communion; creating, redeeming, sustaining, life, light and love; gifts of Father, Son and Spirit, set within garlands of fruit and flowers.

The durability of cared for wood creates in King's College Chapel a sense of time, past present and hoped for. To sit and rest against wise old timber, is prayer.
