Traveling Through Life Fred Schwartz

TRAVELING THROUGH LIFE is a poetic and photographic journey asexperienced by a daughter, a wife, a mother- ultimately a woman's personalperspective on this universal path called life. Travel with Leona throughbeginnings -the birth of a baby, the hatching of a robin's egg, the first-timewitnessing the breath-taking vistas of natural deep valleys and endlessskylines. Experience the vibrant sights anddulcet sounds of a woman hearing-disabled since childhood through words thathum, sing, whisper, holler, forget and remember a life lived well. Reflect with Leona as she travels. . . through the seasons . . . the hills of South Dakota. . . on the road in Arkansas in the Old City Jerusalem...playing in thesun...or just sitting on a rock. The senses delight in the rhythm,the feelings, the spirit -all embodied in verse that shares the itinerant lifeof a sentient woman who savors the moment forever in words and photographs. The sweet scent of spring, aforbidden kiss, a morning stroll, a song of sorrow- the pungent power of wordswrought from the fragrant heart of everywoman. Relive her life, this life, yourlife, the upheaval and affirmation, the first time and the death dance. Taketime now to say good-bye, for a new beginning awaits us all. Be bold. Step forward. And beginyour own journey, TRAVELING THROUGH LIFE.
