Our mind and body nourish the spirit. The journey of life experiences requires determination and patience, often making us question and seek answers. When we are open to receive, inspiration and opportunity are available when we least expect, affirming the ever-present power within and beyond to motivate and guide. This poetry is a witness to that journey, with the accompanying photography capturing a deeper essence behind each poem. Many thanks to the following photographers included in this collection.
