Images and words from my walks and interactions with nature and the environment.
There’s a bounce underfoot
warm earth pulsing through bones
the rhythm of levity
an upward and forward springiness propelling the body onward
through wafting scents of fresh green
new growth exploding
subtle fragrances mingling
Immersed in this cyclic organicity of birth and decay
I imagine the world seen through the eyes of tiny creatures
butterflies, bees, bugs and birds
the magnificence of infinitesimal architectures inside a tiny petal
a new leaf
a green needle
a tangled thread
interwoven into this infinite tapestry we call nature
Seeing the microscopic structure within a blade of grass
a spiral shell
an opening bud
multiplying in endless variations
bursting through the dry, crisp, fragile textures of decomposition
disintegrating layers of life cycles come and gone
Mammoth trees cast their skeletal shadows
hovering over the earth
listening to echoes of deep roots spreading under the surface
interconnecting and communing within their complex underground web
weaving secret pathways of messages
known only to these monumental beings
and yet
there is a sense of all knowing
in all of it
as one
