Nature’s Testament: Words and Pictures of a Journey with God
UncategorizedThe poems in Nature’s Testament celebrate this presence in everything from canoe trips to soul-searching enquiries into Biblical stories to the challenges and sometimes sheer silliness of daily 21st-century life. Illustrated throughout with full-colour photographs, it is a tribute to the sacred, to both serious and light-hearted searches for meaning, and life in all its messy, difficult splendour. Diane Hobelaid has been an artist in dance, word, music, and art all her life. An occupational therapist and dance/movement therapist, she received the 2012 Arts Therapy Award from the Wesley Institute, Sydney, Australia. In the associated thesis, she addressed the signs and symbols of the Gospel in Australian flora, fauna, and aboriginal culture, and incorporated photography, poetry, and prose. Nature’s Testament grew out of the author's experience of nature, friendships, and life, through the eyes of wonder and thankfulness, and through belief in a God who is present and alive to all who seek to know Him/Her.£15.99
