Introducing Profound Photos
by Michael Kroth

With this beautiful, evocative photograph by Marc Christensen, Profound Living introduces a new feature which we are calling Profound Photos. The idea is to feature original photography taken by people like Marc, which make a connection to profundity - profound living and learning. Different people will respond in different ways to ideas, memories, experiences, essays, music and, in this case, images and the intent here is to offer another portal into the vast depths of human experience.

This is our first photo. We plan for Wednesdays to be our photo day. Sometimes, like today, I will just select and post a picture for your reflection. Other times, the photographer will choose a photo personally and offer a few thoughts about how the photo relates, for them, to profundity.

Thanks go to Marc for being our first featured photographer, and for letting us share his work here.

Most of all, she is crazy about her brood. She smiles more when she’s with them. Laughs more. Enjoys more. Relaxes more. Has more fun. She just loves her family.

Author's Note: I originally posted this in the Profound Bartender on April 8, 2018, and then reposted it here at Profound Living on April 25, 2018. I thought it might be a good time to repost it again.

Author's Note: This is a repost of an essay I published in 2018. I thought it was a timely topic to revisit.

We may be lights under bushels, but we can shine brightly against the dark even if we are mere candles. Together, the light may shine bright.
