Jane recently authored, designed, and published TIDEPOOLS, a book of haiku illustrated with her original nature photographs in a lovely, hard-bound volume. Inspired in part by the beautiful landscapes of California and the midwest, in part by visionary prayer experiences, her new poems provide images for spiritual reflection. In the first haiku sequence in the book, “Seasons,” Jane writes this about summertime:

ordinary time

green-leafed stalks, yellow corn cobs --

then, the tornado

The contrast between the peacefulness of the growing season and the destructiveness of the tornado, nature’s furious wind unleashed, provides a moment for meditation not only about nature but about the spiritual life.
