New Ministry Resource
Tall in Spirit: The Movie
Produced by Gary Frye
Let me explain: Unbeknownst to me, my friend Gary Frye (who is also the webmaster of this website) made a short movie of my book, Tall in Spirit and sent it to me for Christmas, 2006. His talented wife Dee, (who is also my friend and website co-facilitator) offered photo and content editing to the project. To make a long story short, after many hours of work and much inspiration, Gary created the movie which you are about to view. He gave me permission to share it, but asked me to point out that this is completely non-profit and that some of the images are copyrighted. Laced with imagery and slogans from my book, Tall in Spirit, those of you who have read it will recognize the symbolism.
(In case any of you would want to look them up, some of these include: The Lock and Key, p. 11, The Killing Frost, p. 14, Alligators of Fear, p. 20, Stone and Sky, p. 23, Flower Beds and Family Love, p.26, Snakeskin Shoes and Pink Refrigerators, p.28, Things I forgot, p. 31, Safe or Unsafe, p. 43, Diamonds for Toads, p. 52, Backbone of the Soul: Great Grandmother Trees, p.58, A Day of Reckoning: Deer Hideout, p. 62, Mask of Transformation, p. 79, Acceptance, p. 80, The Christmas Hush, p. 82, Gypsy Woman, p. 93, A Visit to Church, p. 104.)
Whether you have read the book or not, I hope that in sharing Tall in Spirit: The Movie, you will experience the wonder and magic of Gary's vision as you reflect upon the messages. May the mesmerizing, original melody composed by Gary threaded throughout linger and bring you memories of joy. If you enjoyed this movie and would like to tell Gary, or have a question or comment, please leave a comment on our Guest Book.
It is a privilege to offer this movie as a ministry resource to anyone who would like to use it as a meditation for retreats, small or large group gatherings or any unique event which calls for a prayerful moment of reflection.
