"They live as if they will never die,

And die as though they had never lived."

　

My eyes stay open through the watches of the night,

　　

　

　　　

That I may meditate on your promises.
so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.

　　　

　　　

　　　

Then you will be prosperous and successful.
　　　

　　　

　　　

Therefore each of you must put off falsehood
and speak truthfully to his neighbor,
for we are all members of one body.
"In your anger do not sin"

　　　　

　　　　

　　　
Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
and do not give the devil a foothold.
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,
with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

　　　

　　　

　　　

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love.

　　　

　　　　

　　　
Commit your way to the LORD;

　　　

　　　

　　　

Trust in him and he will do this.

　　　　

　　　　

　　　

Instead, be kind to each other,

　　　　

　　　

　　　　　

Tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
　　　

　　　　

　　　

Just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

　　　　

　　　

　　　

You have searched me and you know me.

　　　

　　
　

　

You know when I sit and when I rise;

　　　

　

　

You perceive my thoughts from afar.

　

　

　

You are familiar with all my ways.

　　

　
You discern my going out and my lying down;

　　

　

　
O LORD.

　

　

　

Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth;

　

　

　

Meditate on it day and night,

　　

　　

　

So that you may be careful to do everything written in it.

　

　

　
Then you will be prosperous and successful.

　

　

　
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels,

　　

　　

　

but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

　　

　

There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under heaven

　　

　

“When I started Ashes and Snow in 1992,
I set out to explore the relationship between man and animals from the inside out.”

Gregory Colbert

Canadian-born artist Gregory Colbert began his career in Paris making

　　　　　documentary films about social issues.
Filmmaking led to his work as a fine arts photographer, and the first public

exhibition of his work was held in 1992 at the Mus?e de l’Elys?e in Switzerland
For the next ten years, Colbert showed no films and exhibited none of his art. Instead,

he travelled to such placesas India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Dominica, Ethiopia,

Kenya, Tonga, Namibia and Antarctica to film and
photograph wondrous interactions between human beings and animals.

In 2002, he launched the Ashes and Snow exhibition in Italy at the Venice Arsenale,
a 125,000-square-foot 15th-century shipyard owned by the Italian navy. It was the largest

solo exhibition evermounted in Italy. With the opening of Ashes and Snow in New York on the

Hudson River’s Pier 54, the first-everNomadic Museum was born. The show,

for which Colbert received the 2005 Curator of the Year Lucie Award,
was attended by more than 500,000 people during its three-month run

Colbert continues his expeditions and the development of Ashes and Snow.
