Why is the Human on Earth? by Mark Ballabon
This book has been uniquely designed using the four media of original pictures, poetry, text and practical exercises. These media convey a throughout experience which engages the imagination, feelings, reasoning and practical instincts of a person, from the first page.
The introduction to this book includes some beautiful photography and pictures. It is written in such a way as to slow, balance and engage the reader in a process of contemplation.
The introduction explains the nature and importance of contemplation process which whilst being quiet, healing and reflective is also a very practical approach to living
The introduction leads you out from the maze and rush and confusion of the times we are living through and into a place inside to begin to contemplate the question:
“Why is the Human on Earth?"
The first working contemplation is entitled To be in awe and appreciate life for what it is and ends with the first of a series of practicals called exercises in freedom.
