A collection of philosophical verse & color nature photographs which have unfolded in the midst of everyday living. Each reader will find a reflection of one's own life experiences & questions to ponder. MUTUAL - Is the soil nourishing/ the bloom?/ Or does the blossom/ feed the earth?/ Each./ And both./ As do we. - The contents are arranged in a subtle movement beginning with goodbyes & letting go, then confronting & becoming comfortable with being alone, discovering & expressing oneself & moving into the celebration of this connection to nature & in relationship with others. CHORUS - Another stanza/ in the song of life/ another verse to sing./ With you in con-verse-sation/ we harmonize the only/ song of life./ We call it Uni-verse. - This lovely gift book combines the author's talent for verse libre & her fascination for word plays with her ability to capture moments on film: "a feeling, a mood, or an oft-overlooked treasure." For example, a beautiful rose whispers: PATIENCE - An instant rose/ would rob me/ of the bud. - And the final selection "The Last Waltz" leaves the reader uplifted & gives a hint of more to come.
