The afternoon sun had spring in her chest. I watched her as she entered my parents' living room with her warmth and affection. Her rays falling over my father’s face as he rested in his favorite chair, completely embraced by her light; his handsome face, the shape of his scull, a single hair like a radar on top of his head, the curves in his neck. I was in that moment without thinking, just trying to look, be present and follow the light. Magic was unfolding in front of me.

My father (87) had been a farmer all his life. He was now in his last chapter of a fully lived life; the winter season.

My intention with my project was an attempt to grasp how a divine presence intersects with the earthiness in a person’s physical being. Our soul is a spark coming from a higher source. It lives within us and in the life we live. It unfolds this loving connection between the Earth and the Sky.

My book On Loving Ground is about my relationship with my father, and it's about my reverence for the Earth and for this higher connection.
