About the Book
They are broken down into four "landscapes" of the soul: Water Flow, Entropic Melodies, Spirit & Light, and Micro Worlds. Each offers a unique glimpse into the ineffable mystery we call the world.
Water Flow shows glimpses of dynamic processes at work; though the processes themselves understandably remain hidden; Entropic Melodies hints at the boundary between life and death; Spirit & Light reveals the physical magnificence and splendor of sacred spaces, as created by human hands, though the spiritual object of devotion lies only in the heart of the observer; and Micro Worlds shows the extraordinary resplendent beauty that may be found even in abject banality, but only if the self recognizes that it is its own landscape of the soul.
Spirit & Light has been published in Lenswork Extended Edition #71 (Jul/Aug 2007); Micro Worlds has been published as a featured portfolio in Lenswork (print and CD editions) #76 (May/June 2008).
