Who could have known an afternoon walk around the block would eventually have such a profound impact on people around this world? Acts 2:17 says, "In the last days, God says, I will pour my spirit out on all people. Your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams." It is all true! We are being shown His constant heart to reach His people through this remarkable photography. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the greatness of the power would be from God and not from us. --2 Corinthians 4:7 (Aramaic Bible in plain English) I have been an amateur photographer most of my life; the beauty in the world captures me. I had always been told my photographs were wonderful, and I knew I had a talent. Several years ago, my photographs began to change; suddenly they no longer represented my skill, they began to reflect the Creator behind the beauty. How blessed we are that God only needs an open heart! He reached out and touched me. He drew me into a remarkable journey to touch others for Him. I have spent the past several years on this very important and unique project. How could I have known that a walk around the block with my camera would find its way to so many people around the world --that a snapshot from my lens would speak to hearts for God? How could I know how this path would change me? I am a proud native of Williamstown, West Virginia, a small town along the Ohio River. I enjoy the simple things in life and making a positive difference to those along my path. I now reside in Columbia, South Carolina.

This collection is a combination of romantic, philosophic, mystical, and spiritual poetry written to warm even the coldest of hearts. They come from a very inspired place that speaks of a great desire to understand ourselves. The elusive butterfly in all of us, that out of its innate curiosity to learn and experience things by necessity, transforms itself. They also speak of the unique place that we all share in the divine tapestry we call life and how we are all intimately connected. The poems reflect on the betrayal and hypocrisy that we all inevitably encounter on our journey through life. Most importantly, a message of hope and joy runs through them, so that we are always reminded that even in our darkest moments, the light of truth and love has never abandoned us. The book also shares some of the stories that inspired and motivated some of the poems. They run the gamut, from gut-wrenching tearjerkers to deeply impassioned pleas for universal kindness to the whimsical frolic of a playful little child. Included is a section titled Musings on Life. These are philosophic perspectives intended to be life lessons for the reader. It's been said that not all men are masters, but all masters have been men. Along that same line of thinking, the author feels that although not all philosophers are poets, all poets are philosophers.

Tian, or Heaven, had multiple meanings in early China. It had been used since the Western Zhou to indicate both the sky and the highest god, and later came to be regarded as a force driving the movement of the cosmos and as a home to deities and imaginary animals. By the Han dynasty, which saw an outpouring of visual materials depicting Heaven, the concept of Heaven encompassed an immortal realm to which humans could ascend after death. Using excavated materials, Lillian Tseng shows how Han artisans transformed various notions of Heaven—as the mandate, the fantasy, and the sky—into pictorial entities. The Han Heaven was not indicated by what the artisans looked at, but rather was suggested by what they looked into. Artisans attained the visibility of Heaven by appropriating and modifying related knowledge of cosmology, mythology, astronomy. Thus the depiction of Heaven in Han China reflected an interface of image and knowledge. By examining Heaven as depicted in ritual buildings, on household utensils, and in the embellishments of funerary settings, Tseng maintains that visibility can hold up a mirror to visuality; Heaven was culturally constructed and should be culturally reconstructed.
