Book Description
An amazing blend of original nature photography, and the creative use of typography and page compositions, to which each image was selectively paired with the poetry and wisdom of the great 13th century Sufi mystic known as Rumi. The resulting effect is to take the reader on a journey through the glorious, and often times painful, wide-eyed process to find one's more complete Self. Rumi wrote the words and Mike Hamers has created a visual soundtrack for this dance that will lead you ever closer to your understanding your humanity and love of life. Open to any page and you will find yourself moved. Each word strikes a familiar cord and every graphic directs the eye directly to the heart of what matters, to what rings true. You will read this book many times and each time you do you will be a new you.The book includes 100 Rumi poems and 70 quotations, interwoven with 120 Boulder, Colorado-based nature photographs taken by Mike Hamers. Mike is a graphic designer, artist/illustrator, author and photographer. The catalyst for this book is his own journey of self-transformation through the daily self-directed practice of refocusing on Music and Art, Prayer and Poetry, as his life-saving tools
