STILL MOVING: Image and Imagination, is one of those RARE books that will take you on a journey into the movements of nature, which are always in flux. Passive perception can offer no insight here. One can only perceive movement with movement.ย
The photos in this book by Karen Alexandre are not static or still. In fact, if you slow down enough, you will notice that they are fluid, that they are still moving. Resist the temptation to quickly guess what the subject of the photo may be. Enjoy its beauty, but let this too wane. Now, soften your gaze and live into the photo until it seems to breathe. You will begin to see that each form has come about from sculpting movements that created the form, that they are still around the form, and that they are "still moving."
The verses in this book by Jaimen McMillan are playful too. When you think you have understood a verse, stop. Each verse can be reversed. Turn each phrase around, up-side down, and inside out, and you will discover that the verses echo the movements in the photos. Your playful interaction with the images and the imaginations will help you to develop a new art of perception. You will witness the play and interplay in nature as the finite reveals itself as an expression of the infinite. There is nothing fixed or finished, everything springs to life. Everything is indeed: "Still Moving." ย
