Everyone wants inner peace. It is the lack of inner peace that causes hatred and violence. For thousands of years various disciplines have structured long studies, mentoring, and meditations of some sort to achieve the goal of inner peace. Most of these disciplines are found in eastern cultures. The fast-paced western society has shown little interest in them, with some small exceptions. What is the solution? The solution or part of the solution is to develop a methodology that comprises of technology and some aspects of the various disciplines that will be useful and of interest to people in western society.
Almost everyone in western society has a cell phone with a camera, which makes photography easy. Photography is a tool used in this methodology to to explore what people feel inside. Any camera or cell phone can be used. What are you called to photograph? What emotions does the photograph bring to the surface? How does it make you feel?

Paumanok Poems and Pictures of Long Island - Kindle Edition
Paumanok Poems and Pictures of Long Island is an anthology of poetry about relationships, yours, mine, married to photographs, a years worth, all artists from Long Island.
"Paumanok-Transitions" is a tour de force - an impressive performance by poets, photographers and the editor and co-editors! This year-long anthology of poems and photographs begins each month with Whitman's words which transition the reader from the past to the present. The illuminating poems in this anthology lead the reader backward and forward at the same time - an oxymoron, a feat only possible with words. The poetic words in these pages document transitions of the personal, spiritual, social, sexual, emotional and political, akin to Whitman's own journey - when he went forth as a child from his Birthplace into the world as a builder's apprentice, journalist, essayist, newspaper founder, Civil War nurse, novelist, poet and Comerado. His fellow travelers in this volume vividly relate their transitions with spontaneous awareness or aching recall - involving a movement or shift that is transformative for both poet and reader.
