BOOK
One Moment of a Single Day: Essays
In a mixed-media collaboration of artistry, my friend Lynne A. Kasey and I are thrilled with this release!
The essays explore encounters with strangers and other people through various levels of intimacy, connection, and deeper humanity. In these moments, what happens? A chance encounter that leads to a closer examination of human spirit. A story of triumph in the face of adversity. A pressing force with political ramifications. Distance between loved ones that has nothing to do with miles. But through it all, grace, hope, and acceptance: the ability to be mindful and listen to one's self and others.
Lynne's exceptional accompaniment of photography extends the concept of a single moment. What she sees through her lens will never be the same again. (Her photos grace this page, too.)
The art book also has an interactive component for workshops and reading groups.
