BOOK STUDY REFLECTIONS

“SmoKe and SaLt: lyrical art and dappled shadows

BOOK STUDY REFLECTIONS

· What theme does this issue of “SmoKe and SaLt” explore?

· What emotions and memories does this theme bring up for you?

· Pick an image and pretend that you are sitting there with the photographer. What would like to ask them?

· When you look at an image ask yourself which of your five senses do you feel connected to most?

· Many of the images are found in nature. Which images have you seen in your own life?

· Do any of the images remind you of a place, a person or an experience? If so, write about your memories and keep them in the book as a bookmark.

· Some images look very closely at things. Take some time to really look closely at a flower, a snowflake, a ray of sunlight or ripples on the water.

· Ask yourself where you will keep this book. Will you have in a quite spot in your home near a window? Or will you have it next to your bed so that you can calm your mind, body and soul before you sleep?

· Do any of the poems affect you? How? Is there someone you would share it with? Why?

· Look at an image and ask yourself, who does this remind me of?

· Where do you see the Sacred here? Where do you see the Sacred in your life?

· How do you express your creative soul?

· What might the title of this journal mean?

· Write a poem in response to an image or a poem or reflection.

· If you could create your own book of images, words and quotations what would it look like? What would YOU include?
