House of Bread:

Poems and paintings from a prayer journal,

by Bruce Driver.

Old Priest, who’s artwork has appeared on this website, has published a book of his paintings and poems!

From the author: This book is about the possibility of silence in the lives of ordinary busy people. There is nothing unusual in the words and images that are found here. There are only the huge issues of the pressure to keep ‘doing’ and suspicion of how it is possible to cope with periods of quiet. My suggestion is that you use this book and join me in trying a bit of silence each day; not too long at first. Mull over words or images which strike you, return to them frequently and don’t rush. Remember the odd phrase or a particular painting later, when you are busy. Begin the long and beautiful journey of loving word and vision. Begin at last to be open to what is.

This wonderful book is available now from Halsgrove Publishing and Amazon.
