Our friend, Joshua Pettit, has just published a book of amazing photos of southern Utah. Paired with musings from his struggle with chronic pain, the book is intended to be both beautiful and inspirational.

Here’s a sample:

Rhadamanthine Superciliousness:

Your words and self talk are what define you and your perceptions in life.

Change those to fit your desired point of view, that’s

all you need to do to be the most unique you.

I tell myself that I am too sexy for my shirt,

and this is how all the birds look at me.

Peace in the Paroxysm is now available on Amazon, coming soon to Kindle.

(Full disclosure: I edited it for him.)
