From the Prologue and Epilogue of\u00a0<\/em><\/h3>\r\n

Songs for the Pilgrimage<\/em><\/h3>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\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>\r\n

My first book,\u00a0Concerti: Psalms for the Pilgrimage<\/em>\u00a0(Kota Press, 2002, now out of print), was inspired by my annual journeys to Salzburg, Austria, where I taught a month-long drawing and writing course. I worked during 2020 and 2021 to \u00a0revise and expand that previous collection of stories, poems, historical notes, and journal entries for this new book.\u00a0Songs for the Pilgrimage<\/em>\u00a0features writings, drawings, and photographs I created over four decades.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

I conclude with an artist’s prayer:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\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>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\u00a0And a poem from the book:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\r\n

May I Serve You?<\/h3>\r\n


Here are the stacks of paintings
for you to look at tonight.
I carefully brought them out
of storage closets
arranged them here
in the kitchen\u2014
where my children used to play
games around a square oak table.
Once, food to nourish the body
was prepared here, by my hands.
Tonight, there is an
abundance of food
for your soul.
Come into my kitchen and
taste the world,
prepared by my hands.
