Episode Description
"Nature is man's teacher. She unfolds her treasures to his search, unseals his eye, illumes his mind, and purifies his heart; an influence breathes from all the sights and sounds of her existence." ? Alfred Billings Street Traditional educational studies have us learning 'about' nature as if it is an object separate from us. With the Law of Oneness in mind, the variety of species making up the whole of nature are all connected and all have unique intrinsic value. Humans are just one of these species and we do not need to go far, Principles of Art including balance, emphasis, movement, rhythm, variety abound naturally. Elements of Art including shapes, value, space, color, patterns and textures are readily available all around us. Our human challenge is to practice deep observation, deep inspiration and deep experience in with all of our senses. Join us as we rediscover learning with profound feelings of reverence and with enthusiasm the designs and systems existing in Nature.

dLee is a passionate photographer, author, talk show host and businesswoman infusing her life with creativity and positivity. She has spent time walking the streets of her community capturing moments of life and nature through her lens. Through this creative process, she naturally began living with more presence and awareness. Growing up, dLee spent time in her father’s garden where she enjoyed the positive beats of this natural environment. She created and produced summer shows using a stage set, records with music and neighborhood kids as the actors in the stories. For these shows, she managed the players and painted the show graphics on large rolls of left over newsprint paper. She learned valuable life lessons working with these creative productions. dLee was encouraged and inspired by her artist mother and several artist neighbors to play with art mediums just for the joyful experience. Today, dLee combines her love for writing and photography, as her lily pad, to create beautiful wall art, gifts and photo books offered at her website, Photodlights.com. Her latest creative project is Integrating Rounds, an inspirational focused photo and word art collection.
