Whispers
in Nature
This book is a clarion call to remind us of the
beauty that exists in Mother Nature. Brilliantly photographed by the
author, Cindy Eksuzian, in the wilds of Montana, USA, each picture is
associated with an appropriate poem, expressing the insights received
by the author as a result of communion with God.
The title of
this book is appropriate. This book takes you “far from the madding
crowd” to the lush, green, rolling landscape of Missouli, Montana.
There are fourteen pictures in the book.
The first picture
(which is also the cover picture) shows a panoramic view of the Blue
Mountains and the Lolo National Forest in the distance under a huge
sky covered with billowing, wispy clouds in an eagle shaped
formation. The author echoes her insight while taking the picture;
her thoughts were of “igniting a vision”, of being willing to
open her heart and her wings, to fly with the eagle cloud.
The
next picture worth noting, shows the brilliant colours of an evening
sunset on Waterworks Hill, the bright yellow of the sun, being
sandwiched between dense grey clouds above and the mountainous
terrain below. In the accompanying poem, the author acknowledges the
weather pattern causing this interplay of colours, a “gift from
Heaven to Earth.”
There are two additional pictures with
panoramic views of the sky over the Blue Mountain Range with well
suited texts.
Another picture worth mention is that of
sunlight coming through the trees beside a pool, inside a wood. The
green and yellow of the leaves on the trees is reflected in the clear
waters of the pool. The accompanying poem talks of light as a key
that fuses matter and spirit and thus, instrumental in bringing
Heaven closer to Earth. Two other photographs/verses deal with the
play of sunlight through the trees in a wood.
Some of the
other pictures are of flowers in the wild, and the emotions they
invoke. There is also a picture of a bluebird and a meadowlark, each
combined with a message in vers libre, depicting her communion with
God.
Returning to our oneness with Nature and being sensitive
to her whispers is what this beautiful presentation is all about. It
is a cogent reminder of the monumental disconnect from Mother Nature
that many of us are experiencing today. This is a book to be read
slowly and savoured bit by bit, to imbibe its essence.
I
recommend it warmly.
