Beauty and the Word

Beauty and the Word:  Planting Seeds is a visual expedition into the correlation between the nature of love and the nature of nature.  The author invites the reader to stimulate the beauty within; to feel the connection between beauty as a force in nature and the great concepts of love and purpose.  The simplicity of the shapes and colors in this volume of photographs of natural settings are highlighted in captioned words of inspiration.  Both words and photographs celebrate the varied and possible connections with the divine around and within us and graceful aphorisms emerge from this collection of loveliness to remind us to be more in touch with our own intuition of the ineffable.
