Spiritual Images and Poetry

Exploring the Silver Thread of Life

​

All my life I have been drawn to the otherworld. It has fascinated and followed me until the edges have become blurred as to which reality I exist in. I never feel alone in the landscapes or churches I visit, often aware of a presence nearby. This can be an uplifting experience, but sometimes it can be achingly sad, and I am compelled to tell their stories.

​

I have always been a photographer, taking many on film in the past, but now my present digital camera is joining me on a new journey. This time I am trying to capture the essence of the spiritual presence as I am experiencing it at the time. That elusive silver thread that connects our mortal lives to the spiritual.

 

As a poet and writer, I love contemplating the images I take, words reaching out to wrap around my soul, and the creative impulse results in poetry, enriching the images. The two are entwined thereafter, connecting on different sensory levels. 

​

It is my hope that others will find meanings in these pieces, that they might provide time to reflect, and explore the otherworld for themselves.
