The Author
As a
photographer, I drew silent strength from the absorbing beauty in
nature. I was fascinated by the vibrant colors, the play of light and
the serendipity of God's creation. I was most taken with the times of
dawn and dusk, when light casts a magical glow and beauty is frozen in
timeless wonder. The visual surroundings of nature called forth feelings
of peace and reverence.
In 1983 my career in photography shifted with my diminishing eyesight.
Over a period of two years, I experienced a loss of visual acuity, color
perception, and finally the ability to perceive light. It was difficult
to understand the loss of my physical sight and the abrupt end of
capturing the beauty of nature on film. For a time, I wrestled with my
mind and struggled with my inner awareness. The practice of meditation
fueled by my desire for truth and my quest for healing, has led me to
the creative wellspring of inner peace.
In the summer of 1988, on a lake in upstate New York, I was inspired by
the reading of poetry by a friend. A mystical door opened, and the poem
Two Hearts was born. The other fourteen emerged out of meditation. This
work has helped me to see the beauty and richness of God's creation from
the inside.
Silent Strength represents the synthesis of two creative sources--the
eyes and the heart. It could appropriately be termed seeing with the
heart. I feel blessed to share this work with you for the deepening
awareness of your Light and your Joy.
