A Seasonal Footprint

My journey has been of global proportions. The sometimes spectacular, sometimes sombre, often-times splendid, at times spiritual, most times satisfying, brings perspective to the distinctive scenes each season displays. Each holds its own ‘colours’.A viewing of the ever-changing landscape emphasises the where, the what and the when. But, when the traveller pauses to reflect upon an exploration, an event, the deeper meanings of life may surface in the how and the why of personal experience. A journey becomes a pilgrimage when one’s life goal is placed in the knapsack. This book offers a personal reflection on a ‘journey’ that is still on-track to ultimate reality.

Lucille Turfrey was born and raised in the Huon valley in southern Tasmania. Following tertiary education, Lucille became an art teacher. A change of vocation later found her engaged in youth ministries as a Salvation Army officer with a remit that included camping, congresses, leadership training and writing manuals for youth leaders, and also booklets on basic theology. Lucille was then appointed principal of the officer training college in southern Australia. International service found her involved in ministry in Scotland before being appointed to Russia, again as training principal. It is in retirement that Lucille has taken up pen and paintbrush to illustrate the truths, the principles and practice that have been her life’s focus, formula and foundation.
