Journey to the House of Light

Photography and Poetry of Spirituality and Sustainability
by RodHemsell and Edith Stadig

Journey to the House of Light
Photography and Poetry

Our aspiration has been to create a book of poetry and photography that may contribute to the universal, evolutionary emergence of the higher faculties of hearing, seeing, and remembering. It is our view that such an emergence is crucial for humanity and the world today. A transformation of consciousness is necessary before there can be the radical change of our habits of behavior that is necessary if we are to achieve a sustainable lifestyle. The poetry has a continuous underlying theme and central story – the transformation of consciousness symbolized by nature, especially mountains, rivers, forests and ocean. The theme is a synthesis of Vedic and Platonic philosophy and the poetic style is lyrical and metaphysical. Audio files are included to convey the rhythmic quality of the Sanskrit principle of sruti. The photography is basically of the Pacific Northwest, some from Hawaii.

In addition to the poetry and photography that are ‘read’ with the eye, we have also included the dimension of sound with this text, which may help us free the mind and eye from their habitual habits of abstract understanding and open our consciousness to an inner hearing of the Word, in a way that enhances our ability to experience the oneness of Being. The outer hearing is often a more direct channel for inner hearing than reading silently. We have therefore included Quick Response bar codes at the end of each poem which enable your smart phone to access the link to the audio recording of the poem.
