These poetic photographs share moments of visual Zen. Wandering through this world of ours is an honor and a privilege. We can only see so much, but a vast spectrum of visual delights awaits if we take the time.

This book documents five years of taking the time - to stop, look, and see - and the transform because of it. Dissolving self into a sunset, a stream, a piece of art, we become aware that we're part of something much bigger.

A silence takes hold, a quietness of spirit, that connects us to the dewdrop on the rose, or the light beam through the trees. There's a sense that we, too, are this. We are of the same stuff.
