Product Description

The River Dream is a collection of original proverbs that looks to continue that classic form in its search for wisdom and spirituality. Each proverb has a corresponding photo that adds meaning and substance in the same way music adds to a lyric to create a song. Breaking through the confinements of religion, these songs express a unique spiritual outlook in a simple poetic form. Many themes such as love, faith, vision, and death are explored, with imagery that was inspired by the natural beauty of the southern Pennsylvania countryside where this book was written. ""Proverbs are the DNA of poetry: condensed, figurative, morally aware, sharp with wit and the truth that surprises and persuades. At their best, as in The River Dream, by Laurence David, they seem like insights we have always possessed but somehow mislaid. They are complemented here by artful photographs that enlarge and enrich the reader's experience. The fortunate traveler who takes this river cruise will pass through a varied landscape over waters both deep and clear."" --Michael D. Riley, Author, Ordinary Time: Poems for the Liturgical Year Laurence David lives in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, with his wife Cathy, who assisted with this book by providing most of the photos. They live next to a nature preserve of the Lancaster County Conservancy, where most of the images in the book are located. Laurence is the author of The Window Song (2000) and The River Prayer (2006), and is currently working on a new collection of proverbs that is a companion piece to The River Dream.
