Here is Marc's Profound Photo for this month. There are so many ways to talk about renewal, rebirth, and, even more profoundly, death and resurrection. There are a few talented people, like Marc, who can not only speak eloquently about this but can also show us this through his lens. Here he has done both.

You can learn more about Marc on our Profound Pictures Contributor's tab. Marc is a regular contributor to this series, where the artist/photographer selects a photo they consider profound and then describes why, or simply lets the image speak for itself.

Earth Day is this week. As we consider the state of our world - and the ecology of both our material and spiritual environment - it makes sense to ask what our role is, has been, and is supposed to be in relationship to "our common home" (Pope Francis).
