Beschreibungen
The Window Song is a collection of original proverbs that looks to continue that classic form in its search for wisdom and spirituality. Breaking through the confinements of religion, these proverbs express a unique spiritual outlook in a simple poetic form. Many themes such as love, faith, fear, nature, vision, and death are explored in depth. Each chapter has a corresponding photo that illustrates and adds meaning to each theme. Together these words and images will stimulate thought on how these issues affect all our lives.
Laurence David lives in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, with his wife, Cathy, who assisted with this book by providing the photographs. They live next to a nature preserve of the Lancaster County Conservancy, where most of the images in the book are located. Laurence is the author of
