A personal blog by a graying (mostly Anglo with light African-American roots) gay left leaning liberal progressive married college-educated Buddhist Baha'i BBC/NPR-listening Professor Emeritus now following the Dharma in Minas Gerais, Brasil.
“I feel it in the air, a new start, a new foundation
The beauty of Mother Earth”
Deepening our relationship to a place can
sometimes be painful, especially in landscapes that have witnessed human
brutality and violence. But engaging the earth in this way can open
spaces of receptivity, where reclamation and healing become possible.
As we continue our exploration of Roots, we follow photographer Sheila
Pree Bright through her home state of Georgia. Inspired by W.E.B. Du
Bois’s speech “Behold the Land,” Sheila focuses her portrait lens on the
Southern landscape where she encounters personhood and spirit in the
presence of the land. As her camera reveals layers of darkness and
light, she is guided through the past, across the present, and into the
future.
