evening light

I love evening light.  It suggests possibilities.  It calls to my mind time in chapels, motes in the sun, ballgames, preparing supper for friends.

I once freaked out the person looking in on my house when I went away for a long time with this permanent arrangement of fruit firmly on the dining room table.    I was roundly castigated, up to the minute he tried to move this very heavy collection.

Which I brought it back piece by piece from Rome, … as Preserved Killick would say.

I like going to museums on weekends when I can, so today… eis deficientibus … I am channeling my inner natura morta, my inner still life. 

Also, here is an old chaliceI used this during Lent.  It is dear to me.  I kept this in my lockable niche in the sacristy of St. Peter’s Basilica for years, for I said Mass there everyday.

Let nobody claim that in the past people did not understand "noble simplicity".

The patten has a dent, from the first week in a parish where I was assigned.

 

Just a glimpse of life, in the evening. 

I will now eat supper.
