Song of the Sparrow

Nature Vignettes Through Lens & Thought

Beschreibung

Song of the Sparrow offers a sense of wonder inspired by the natural world. The serendipity and enjoyment of nature through the beauty of just being present. The observations of isolated and intimate moments. Some are humorous, some sad, some downright scary. They are filled with rhythmsthe rhythm of the tides, the rhythm of the eagles wing-beat as it flies over us, the rhythm of the soft rain as it falls on our tent. While this book is about sharing experiences exploring the Salish Sea, these vignettes can be enjoyed anywhere by anyone who experiences nature in small and simple ways. Readers may have their own experiences with the natural world currently or may be removed from natural settings, but they still have a core yearning to be a part of the whole. This book will be embraced by those that enjoy intimate interactions among humans, animals, and plants. Song of the Sparrow is unique, not only because of the West Coast habitat but also because it is based on personal adventures and yet present in a universal context. It is Deborahs intention through photography and prose to offer a point of reference and insight for the unique moments that are a part of enjoying nature. While the images and narrative are specific to one place, it matters not where the reader resides. It is Deborahs hope that these snippets create a canvas for all to broaden their own experiences with nature, no matter where they occur.

(From Mrs. Freeman's website, deborahfreeman.co.uk): I grew up in Bristol. studied Philosophy at Sheffield Uni, and after marriage and 2 years in Leeds spent 7 years in Ashkelon, Israel, and 37 years in Manchester. I now live in London. I brought up three sons, became a Psychiatric Social Worker, and wrote a novel or two. Through all these activities, I consistently planned and wrote plays.In the nineteen nineties I was awarded an Arts Council Theatre Writing Bursary. Three scripts, including my second radio play FAT have been translated - into German, Portuguese and Hebrew respectively. My latest play, `Remedies,` is about people whose lives are affected by the little-understood illness popularly called M E.On the same topic, I have just published a memoir called M E and Me. Some full-hearted commendations already received, from people who have had M E, or live with someone who has it, or have tried to understand it.My play The Song of Deborah is published on the website Smiths Scripts, of plays available for production in the UK. USA and other countries. A newish website, set up and run by Paul Smith.With a post-graduate diploma in Ethics and Social Welfare, I have an active interest in Mental Health, particularly its social and cultural dimensions. In 2019 I participated in The Unbroken Festival, in Barnes, run by the talented Emma King Farlow. I wrote and directed a short play Hanna, presented in the festival`s showcase evening. I ran a creative writing workshop which was really lively. The Unbroken Festival explores connections between the worlds of mental health and the arts. I loved it.
