WITHIN THE SILENCE: FREEDOM GAINED, A PICTURED JOURNEY

This book of images is a continuation of a journey begun, containing previously released poems and some of the stories that led to the poems which came about because of spiritual experiences in my life. With some of the experiences, they were often difficult to articulate, so I began using images as a bridge to help express some aspect of a poem or story. In today's age, the Internet calls these photo-poems, "phoems", with a few of these becoming greeting cards. Not all of the poems and stories are paired with an image or photo. As my journey to complete this book of images progressed, other experiences began to take shape, so as to fill in missing portions of the book's narrative, I added a few more poems into this book. The further I moved along the spiritual path, I began to notice how things fell into place way too frequently to be called coincidences. I began to question the how and why of things, especially what is called love.
