Thank you, Kate, for a lifetime%u2026. So many people were essential to getting The Endless Sphere of Time to press.

I am indebted to people, past and present, particularly Indigenous peoples and cultures, for their generosity and welcoming spirit, which enabled, empowered, and sustained me over the 15 years of this project.Photography is my meditation and personal communion with the earth. It is also the place where I seek understanding and meaning in life. It is where I thrive and why I am alive. I am grateful to have found this practice. It is my hope that the poems, photographs and stories in this book inspire readers in ways that will add to their personal understanding of our place in this beautiful world. %u2014Geir Jordahl
