Sometimes memories are evoked by our experiences in the outdoors be it on a hike or a brief glance out the window. Although memories themselves are not tangible the natural world that creates them is a fragile reality. This reality expresses itself in my poetry through written word and nostalgic black and white photographs touching on subjects like squirrels birds ants trees and water while also addressing the human concepts of fame frailty and progress. Each chapter reminds the reader of how the well being of the planet depends on the well being of our enviro<EM>mental </EM>consciousness. My book seeks to strengthen you and your children's connection to the timeless tranquility that nature affords. </DIV></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN><DIV class=O v:shape=_x0000_s3074><DIV style=mso-char-wrap: 1; mso-kinsoku-overflow: 1><SPAN style=FONT-SIZE: 67%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'><SPAN style=mso-spacerun: yes></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV><DIV style=mso-char-wrap: 1; mso-kinsoku-overflow: 1><SPAN style=DISPLAY: none; FONT-SIZE: 67%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'></SPAN></DIV><DIV style=mso-char-wrap: 1; mso-kinsoku-overflow: 1><SPAN></SPAN></DIV></DIV>
