Reflections of Spirit chronicles with photographic images and narratives, my profound experiences, insights and revelations during a 1995 week long Coumba Lamba ritual in Senegal, West Africa. As I began the process of writing the text and assembling the images for the book, I was unsure as to its value or purpose. What I did know is that , during the first few years after my Sojourn in Senegal, these images were so instrumental in my spiritual and visual awakening. The images in this body of work has allowed myself and others to recognize the Healing power of Spirit. These images have revealed that Spirit is everywhere, in everything and everyone. From the simple placement of an elder's hand over his heart, to the joy-filled eyes of a young child, to the ominous shadows of a former slave house, Spirit presents itself in each. The text that accompanies each image was created as mystically as the images themselves. I was awakened one night in April 1999 by the urging of a story that wanted to be told. I got up and began to write. The story of "Back Beauty", the book's cover image, was the first of many that would speak to me during the middle of the night. In the following months, one by one, these stories, reflections or lessons would awaken me from my sleep. The process of reflecting on and writing about the Senegalese images moved me closer to a higher truth. The writing process led me to a place where I could again see, feel and be moved by the mystery and majesty of my sojourn in Senegal. I continued to write, subsequently felt that my experiences in Africa weren't meant solely for my benefit alone. The purpose of the project came in to focus, much like the images in my camera's viewfinder.

This book was released on 2018-10-15. Pierre Loti available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Few authors have led lives as interesting as that enjoyed by French novelist and travel writer Pierre Loti (1850–1923)—and still fewer have worked so hard to make their lives appear even more romantic than they already were. As a career officer in the French navy, Loti participated in expeditions that took him to locales which even today seem exotic, giving rise to four decades of novels, travelogues, and autobiographical narratives, some of which went through hundreds of editions in France and were translated into dozens of languages. And as Richard M. Berrong reveals in this colorful biography, the extravagances of Loti’s often very public private life were as interesting as his art. With Loti’s financial and artistic success came notoriety, which he delighted in enhancing by staging elaborate costume balls—to which (as one does) he invited the photographic press. The artistically inclined royalty of his day, including Princess Alice of Monaco and Queen Elizabeth of Rumania, sought him out as confidant. Sarah Bernhardt had him write plays for her. And although his parties and hobnobbing with titled nobility hurt his standing as a serious author in his later years, they can do nothing to diminish the legacy of an artist whom Henry James hailed as a “remarkable genius,” “the companion, beyond all others, of my own selection,” and whose writing led Willa Cather to confess “she would swoon with joy if anyone saw traces of Loti in her work.”
