Wisdom Within & Without
From birth onward, the river of life keeps moving, carrying our joy and despair like a fallen leafy tree pulled from its roots by the current.
Wisdom Within & Without follows Mark West on a segment of his inner and outer journeys with the natural world of the Southwest as backdrop and muse. The images and poetry emanate from the heart of our adventuring artist as he searches for his destiny. These works create a kind of “sound-track”of his experiences.
In this Relief-Let™ the lenses of photography and poetry create a window into loves and losses, estrangements from others, from our work, and sometimes from our own soul and spirit. The universality of lyrical writing, like music, helps connect despite our separateness and throws a much needed lifeline in tumultuous times.
The selections in this Boom Talk Media Relief-let™ speak to a shared cycle of life. Through all the varied particularities, each life journey is highly personal. Yet we all traverse the common ground of seeking significance and how we belong to each other and this world at large.
The confluence of poetry, prose and image forms a sanctuary of shared sensibilities. The alchemy of these elements forms a powerful composition, inviting the reader to reflect on their own life transitions.
Relax and allow this experience to inform your embodied sense of connection to all that is meaningful to you.
Reflect on your journey,
evoke your experiences
your natural inner and outer worlds
your sense of belonging to both.
