This is the first artwork I completed after losing my sight in October 2007. When my low vision specialist told me, “You can make art again,” I believed him. It was a long time of very hard work, but I overcame the obstacles and this is what happened.<\/p><\/div>\n

*** Blurb for\u00a0 SONGS FOR THE PILGRIMAGE<\/strong><\/h4>\n

From the Prologue and Epilogue of\u00a0Songs for the Pilgrimage<\/span><\/p>\n

The word pilgrimage refers to a religious journey. Individuals commit to traveling to reach a predetermined destination, such as a shrine or holy place. The excursion is a trek from one location to another. Pilgrimage has been an abiding theme in my writing for several decades.<\/p>\n

My first book, CONCERTI: PSALMS FOR THE PILGRIMAGE\u00a0 (Kota Press, 2002, IS now out of print. This book was inspired by my annual journeys to Salzburg, Austria, where I taught a month\u2013long drawing and writing course. I revised and expanded the previous collection of stories, poems, historical notes, and journal entries for this new book. Songs for the Pilgrimage<\/span>\u00a0features writings, drawings, and photographs I created over four decades.<\/p>\n

I conclude with an artist\u2019s prayer:<\/p>\n

My studio is yours, Lord. Be my welcome guest today. Your goodness and unfailing kindness have been with me all my life. I have tried to make your glory visible in the works of art I have created. Someday I will close the door of my studio for the final time, but I will not be alone. Together, we will go to your home, where we will continue to collaborate on glorious projects throughout eternity. Amen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A poem from SONGS FOR THE PILGRIMAGE:<\/p>\n

May I Serve You?<\/span>
\nHere are the stacks of paintings
\nfor you to look at tonight.
\nI carefully brought them out
\nof storage closets
\narranged them here
\nin the kitchen\u2014
\nwhere my children used to play
\ngames around a square oak table.
\nOnce, food to nourish the body
\nwas prepared here, by my hands.
\nTonight, there is an
\nabundance of food
\nfor your soul.
\nCome into my kitchen and
\ntaste the world,
\nprepared by my hands.<\/p>\n
