Rare mother/son book collaboration rekindles bonds of love in:
The Grace of Ordinary Days
An Invitation to Celebrate Life’s Journey
by Kay Saunders & Bernie Saunders
Described as “Tuesdays with Morrie meets Georgia O’Keeffe,” The Grace of Ordinary Days by nationally celebrated artists, poet Kay Saunders and nature photographer Bernie Saunders is a rare glimpse into the separate but inextricably linked lives of mother and son.
Contemplative poetry and stunning flower photography are woven together by a narrative thread in two voices. Mother and son retell their versions of memories from a shared past and how each perceived them differently. The stories shed light and perspective that leads to understanding and forgiveness. The Grace of Ordinary Days can help us to love better, and remind us of our own beauty, truth and passion.
"This book is a small treasure that communicates deeply and on so many levels. I was moved by the lovely harmony created between two artists--mother and son--as they describe their different journeys in photos and poetry, held always in the embrace of their relationship. What emerges is a profoundly moving story of parenting and growing up."
—Margaret J. Wheatley, PHD., author of Turning to One Another

“Waiting Up”
Bernie
You are waiting up for me as usual. I’ve been out on Sand Point having a great time with my friends enjoying the magical northern night sky, laughing long, loud, and hard around a roaring fire. I feel the terrific buzz and warmth of booze. It’s way past the time I said I’d be home. More...
"Bernie's amazing photographs of flowers are close, close-ups. You hardly realize -- until you dwell on the photo, that it is the fold of a rose, the curled-up dying iris, or the center of an orchid....Armchair Interviews says The Grace of Ordinary Days is a wonderful gift for you or someone who loves the beauty of the written word -- and the phenomena of God's flowers".....More...
