GÜNTER SAURE
born 1950 in West-Germany. For over thirty years I have lived and practiced as a psychotherapist in Bremen, in the north of Germany.Throughout these decades, my growing spiritual longing and quest has brought me into contact with different teachers and teachings, strongly influencing my path. They all served and deepened my understanding about the true nature of existence and who we are at the core of our being.
In addition I was increasingly drawn to reading sacred poetry, like the poems of Kabir, Hafis and Rumi. For eight years, this journey of engaging myself in questions about the essence of life, also has borne fruit in the form of occasionally writing spiritual poems. This writing process happens in spontanious and unpredictable ways, mostly, to my own surprise, in english. I also started to engage differently when taking photographs which sometimes, more or less intentionally, brings about astounding images from nature. Thereby nature often reveales itself in unfamiliar ways, evoking in me a deep sense of awe and wonder. I hope, that the poems and images in this book will be received and enjoyed as an opportunity for contemplating the endlessly unfolding mystery of life.
