Beginnings

By Cathey Cone

"Beginnings" is a collection of poetry and photography that takes the reader on a journey through different periods of life, all of which have beginnings and endings. The poems represent ages and stages from birth to death and reflect the navigation of the mountains and valleys of life. With each ending comes a new genesis and opportunity to "begin at the beginning". Represented in the poems and photos are the author's love of nature, exploration and curiosity. The poetry investigates the profound themes of innocence, growth, love, relationships, loss, grief, faith, and personal reflection that are illustrated through the original photography. This book makes a great gift for men and women of all ages, anyone looking for uplifting and positive reflection, and any special occasion. Cathey Cone is a poet, photographer, blog writer and storyteller. Writing has always been a life passion and though she took a hiatus when family was priority, she returned to writing in recent years. Cathey found it gave her new enthusiasm for living with a unique eye on what she could say about life in a relatable way that would reflect her positivity and optimism. Her popular blog, "Footnotes from the Flipside", that features human interest stories, poetry and photography is available on substack.com.
