You never enjoy the world aright, til the Sea itself floweth in your vein,
til you are clothed with the heavens and crowned with the stars,
and perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world.
-Thomas Traherne (English Metaphysical poet, 1636-1674)
I have found ... that people are thirsting for images of goodness in order to maintain their hope in a difficult world. Sometimes, the measure of our work as journalists is not the professional recognition of colleagues, but rather the mark we make in the hearts of readers who see our work.
- Gerald Herbert, photojournalist
