The concept of this book, Renewal of Life!, was thought of as I traveled around and observed how life is renewed in so many forms. One is not only revived or renewed from an unconscious state, but as one will see from the variety of pictures, life in any form is being renewed. For example, I have seen a flower blooming from a limb of the tree that is obviously dormant, or in forest-ecology terms, a snag. That scene moved my thoughts even more about how awesome life is and that I must share my findings. Therefore, we must take time out of our busy, hectic lifestyle and find the renewals of our own lives, observing the many facets of this life. By so doing, our inner souls will become renewed about this precious life we have.
