Beach – Untitled #56

This bench has immense personal significance to me. To share all the details with you would take a book. This picture was taken as the sun was setting in October 2008. This bench faces Lake Michigan in my hometown. I spent many wonderful hours looking, thinking, meditating, reading, and praying here. I love the way the sun colors this green bench in golden hues.

A year prior to this picture, I had an incredible spiritual experience there that changed my life, purpose, and trajectory. Four and a half years later I would propose to my wife there.

Beautiful history, beautiful colors, beautiful memories.
