This full frontal facial photo was taken in 2004 when I was 60. The photo was taken in Hobart Tasmania. With its light and shadow, its light side and its dark side, it is an appropriate photo to symbolize my lower and higher natures. Part of my nature reaches for academic, literary, and spiritual goals; another part gets caught-up with the world of mire and clay, of shadowy and ephemeral attachments.
