Bless: A Book of Visionary Art and Reverent Poetry
"A feeling of affinity came over me when reading Mason’s poetry for the first time and to see his enlightening words of poetry together with my paintings was an inspiration that now is a book in the making.
"Sometimes the written word can bring out yet another dimension of a painting, and the other way around.
"It is our hope this can serve as a source of enlightenment, inspiration, and joy."
— Benny H.V. Andersson
On Poetry
Poetry is a whisper from the heart, sneaking past the defenses on our tongues.
The keys that unlock our hearts are hidden everywhere and in plain sight. They're in the song you heard that transported you to a magical place. They're in the painting you saw that widened your eyes. And they're in the book you read that sparked a profound change in your life.
Once the heart has been unlocked it will start to sing. And I listen and pray when that song is in flight.
