’round and upside down
Who’s to say what’s impossible…
– Jack Johnson

NEW BOOK
D E V O T I O N

This powerful collection of images is collected from the entirety of McCurry’s forty-year career traveling to every corner of the globe. From a mosque in Afghanistan to Burma’s Golden Rock; an Easter offering in Paraguay to an elderly couple at Lourdes; a Tibetan monk in India to evangelicals in America’s heartland.
McCurry captures penetrating moments of devotion, loyalty, faithfulness, and dedication.
Reproduced in stunning color, these photographs honor the universal desire to create meaning in the midst of everyday life and offer viewers an opportunity to connect with their own spirituality—whatever form that takes.

Simple Act of Waiting

Of all the hardships a person had to face,
none was more punishing than the
simple act of waiting.

– Khaled Hosseini

Often the act of waiting is anything but simple.
Many people hate to wait because they are
waiting to do something, or to go somewhere.

Waiting doesn’t seem like an act, but the lack of action;
however, the decision to be patient and
willing to wait is an act of courage and perseverance.

A person who is a master of patience is a
master of everything else.

– George Savile

Endurance is patience concentrated.

– Thomas Carlyle

Patience is the companion of wisdom.

– St. Augustine

Come what may, all bad fortune is to
be conquered by endurance.

– Virgil

People count up the faults of those who keep them waiting.

– French Proverb

No Greater Joy

To get the full value of a joy you must have
somebody to divide it with.

Passages

Doors and windows

Cherish these passages, old and new,
Windows to dreams, doors to more,
In their presence, our spirits explore.

I can’t play bridge. I don’t play tennis. All those things that people learn, and I admire, there hasn’t seemed time for. But what there is time for is looking out the window.
– Alice Munro

“I became startled by the extraordinary difference between something whose surface is completely invisible which only makes itself present by virtue of what it reflects, and a window, which doesn’t make itself apparent at all…”
– Jonathan Miller

For doors
Are both frame and monument
To our spent time,
And too little
Has been said
Of our coming through and leaving by them.
– Charles Tomlinson
