merging awareness, creativity, and nature COLWELL CEDARs
This collection of 28 essays and 9 poems was published in 2016, Joseph continues with his meditative and spiritual essays on nature published in Canyon Breezes (Lichen Rock Press, 2015). He reflects more on the aspects of time and nature, both geologic time and a personal journey to the his own past. Influenced by the geology of Utah and Colorado, Joseph reflects on the role time plays in the world we live in, from the environments of the West, to the depths of the solar system.
Sing a note of joy as you watch the full moon rise over the eastern horizon. Whisper a heartfelt thank you and goodbye as you watch the sun sink below the western sky. Think about what time means to nature and what nature does to time. What is time? What lessons can we learn from the time of dinosaurs and our own past? Can we feel the past in the star-filled skies and in the title to our own homes? From the hidden canyons of the Colorado Plateau, to the mysteries of the seashore, to personal visits to his own past, Joseph relates how time and nature affect each other.
