i write to believe.

Holy Trinity by Andrei Rublev (1410) As we place ourselves in front of the icon in prayer, we come to experience a gentle invitation to participate in the intimate conversation that is taking place among the three divine angels and to join them around the table.  The movement from the Father toward the Son and the movement of both Son and Spirit toward the Father become a movement in which the one who prays is lifted up and held secure. (Henri Nouwen)

Sunflowers (1889) by Vincent Van Gogh "Oh" Vincent wrote to Theo, "those who don't believe in this sun...are real infidels.  The sun, light in the darkness light that brightens nature and people, light that calls the dead from their graves.  Those who have eyes to see will recognize that all light comes from the same sun." (Vincent Van Gogh, Letters to Theo)
