On Friday night, a group of us from six different spiritual traditions sat on a panel whose topic was "Work and the Spiritual Journey." In preparing for the panel, I realized that for me, one of the major goals of meaningful work - from a spiritual perspective - is to increase the sense of awe and wonder in the world.
After all, our purpose on this Earth is to mirror back to our Source the amazing beauty and goodness of the cosmos. As a Sufi might say, we are the pupil through which the Beloved gazes on the world's splendor. For me, photography is a major way that I can contribute to this experience of awe and wonder!
