pause
This collection of images is created by photographer Cheryl Diermyer with reflections written by Rev. Winton Boyd. Each image invites each of us to pause and reflect on our connectedness with each other and with earth’s natural beauty. The hurried pace of 21st century daily life in much of the United States leaves us little time for reflection, or to pause and really see others. It is often in the quiet spaces of our lives, when we find deeper understanding of how we make our way in the world. This exhibit invites moments of stillness and offers an opportunity to connect us to humanity and with all creation.
Exhibit hours and locations are:
May 11 - July 1
