It’s Just a Phase

It’s Just a Phase by Ray Zimmerman is a celebration of nature’s rhythms and the unexpected journeys of creativity. Drawing inspiration from the natural world and life’s varied experiences, Zimmerman’s poetry captures both the serious and the whimsical, each piece flowing freely from his pen. Accompanied by his own photographs and drawings, the collection reflects a late-blooming artistic journey—one that began when, at age 71, he embraced drawing through a nature journaling workshop. With themes that range from the changing phases of the moon to the delicate dance of wildlife, It’s Just a Phase invites readers to find joy and reflection in the cycles that shape our world. Zimmerman’s words and images offer a gentle reminder to embrace every phase of life with curiosity and wonder.
