Thank you for sharing your reflections on this collection of images. Your words speak to me. It was my hope that this compilation tell a story, a hushed way of wandering across a landscape both untouched and scarred, and I am drawn to your suggestion to add excerpts of the meditations to this virtual exhibit. Thank you for this.
What an inspiration to share a gallery! The first time through, of course we only saw the photos from one step of the journey at a time. It is good to see them together. I imagine for you it is even better, remembering what your body remembers of the crouch, the angle of the arm, the warmth or cold, the position of the sun, the fresh air or smoke. All of that for you is in every photograph. I see what Walt Whitman meant by "I contain multitudes" in your gallery.
The images are reflective of what you perhaps mean by Beyond the Comfort Zone. The landscapes are vast, harsh, extreme, lonely, desolate. You portray fragments of passing time and decrepit remnants of existence. They wordlessly convey the story of your journey your words having added an unexpected depth and dimension. I can see why you were urged to exhibit them. You should, with exerts from your meditations.
I love this meander through your journey Renee and that I see here some of my favourites, but also some brand new treasures and a peek behind the scenes too. I’ll continue to pause here and reminisce with you as I’m sure you do often. Louise x
Every image an exquisite reminder of your whole being in those far places... I’m more than delighted to have opened the door, to have the fleeting chance to have joined you in those places where surely you left a small part of your soul... These are beautiful and beyond Renée x
Dear Mary,

There is such an eloquence to this gallery. It is lovely

These images...
Create in me
Stillness
Whispers of the wind.
They draw me in
And pull me out.
They call me to see...
LIght
Shadow
Layers
Newness in the old and
Age in the new
Eyes in the Heavens
Heaven through the eyes.
They bring a
Smile with a deep chuckle of appreciation
A sigh of remembering that
The vastness isn't so vast.
They remind me of
The drought of a soul crying for rain and
The tiniest drops of water which can quench the thirst.
Of the footsteps on the land of our souls
That are only here for a moment.
They are reflections of the seen and unseen in each of us and this earth.
Thank you dear Renee for sharing them with us. My soul has been nourished.
