Enjoy a taste of
life.
|
Our
neighbor's cat showed up at our door one day, and I let him in. We were
strangers, but we soon became friends. We learned to trust each other. All of us
have literal or figurative cats at our doors. We must choose whether to let them
into our lives or send them away. Letting them in, whether they be cats or
people, involves some risk. Relationships take time and work, and the
willingness to commit part of oneself. It also involves the pain of loss,
when those we let into our lives, leave. Part of what makes life interesting is
the mystery. Each event, each stranger, teaches us a little more about ourselves
and about our journey.
When the cat shows up at our
door, it's an invitation to taste life. It's the chance to make the world more
than the pictures on our TV, flipped on and off by remote control.
Our community of souls needs
more participants and fewer spectators. We have been given a great gift and we
need to learn to savor it. Open the door to life, and don't be afraid to laugh
and cry. Look in the cat's eye and taste, touch, smell, listen and see what this
beautiful planet can offer during our brief time here.

A few comments on In
the Cat's Eye from reviewers and readers |
|
Glenn Currie’s book blends
the…joy of life with some serious depths of insight. His juxtapositions
of bright photography with equally vivid musings and metaphors are
sometimes startling, sometimes consoling, but always memorable. |

In the Cat’s Eye
invites the reader on an
introspective journey through life’s many phases. I felt a sense of calm
awareness…enticing me to live with adventure and embrace these creatures
that show up at my door.

Glenn Currie brings his poet’s

(Currie’s) ability to tell a
story through his poetry and captivating photography make the book such
an easy read; one that makes me want to relish it over and over
again…This book is a perfect gift for those we care about who are part
of our life’s garden. But mostly, it is a beautiful gift to oneself. |

5 out of a possible 5…vivid
imagery…a metaphoric connection between the (poems and photography). |

Your ability to make real art out
of unstilted, everyday experience (written and visual) is a special
gift. |

I especially liked the military

creativity are obvious…Really impressive. |
