Again, whatever science my mind is cultivating, on whatever object it fixes its thoughts, whether I reflect upon others or upon myself, all lifts me up to God, all leads me back to him; he is the first link in the chain to which all truths hold; he is the last, in which they all end. I know nothing thoroughly, either in philosophy or in morals, if I do not know God, and I cannot reason as I should on anything if I ignore God as the first cause, and the last end of all things.
–Fr. Jean-Nicolas Grou, S.J. (1731-1803)

Very nice.
Did you do something to your picture up there, or is my computer doing strange things?

Yes, that’s a different picture. Or rather a different version of the same picture. Long story. I probably won’t leave this one.

Lovely quote.

I like that picture, but I think if you kept it, you would have to change the color of everything else a bit.
AMDG -
Agreed, it really doesn’t look right. The problem is that I can’t get at the other one at the moment. So I may have to re-create it from this one (this is what I started with).

This is exactly why I’ve never messed around with the picture on my blog. There are somethings I would like to try. but I’m afraid if they didn’t work out, I’d never get them back the right way again.

I’m not so worried about that, as I generally make a copy of anything I’m changing. But…the problem here is that the original image is on my old web site, and for some reason it’s been inaccessible. And I had to have had a copy of it on a local machine in order to get it to the web site, but haven’t been able to find it–just this original, before I messed with it.

Just went to what I think is your old website — is this the photo http://www.lightondarkwater.com/images/pierattwilight2-3.jpg ?
I was able to right-click on it where it’s on the site’s homepage and save it to my computer. -
Yes, that’s it, or at least one very close to the one. This is weird–I can get to that link, too (and just downloaded it), but the main site and specific pages are still timing out.

And thanks.
