"And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two." (dedicated to you my dear brother, much missed. If only we could go one more mile) |
My photography pages reflect my struggle with coming to a deeper awareness of my purpose and my relationship with nature in all it's wonder. I believe we have a physical and spiritual connection to the entire cosmos and to all those we are privileged to meet on the journey.
I have a love of travel and history and yet I also am enthralled with the technology of today and the ability to use it in an expression of art and creativity.
To this end I strive and know I have much to learn.
From a young age I took much pleasure in fairy tales and story telling and anything sacred and mysterious and I try to include these in my visual tales.
I hope everyone will always find wonder and magic in this world. We need only open not just our eyes but our inner eye and ears. There is always a message waiting for us.
I include some quotes that I find inspiring and that reflect my own beliefs
Jon Kabat Zinn and Pema Chodron are two of many teachers that have led me into a new direction with meditation and awareness. But I don't forget my old roots, and the Christian Mystics , some of whom I became fascinated with as a child; Meister Eckhart, Francis of Assisi,Theresa of Avila, and the modern Thomas Merton.
From childhood on I have had the dream of life lived as a sacrament. . . The dream implied
taking life ritually, as something holy.”- Berenson
