rebuilding fence // resurrecting damaged oak trees and re-aligning them //

.
the art of seeing things // find what you are not looking for / touch nature and express yourself with color and movement // intercourse with sky, heaven
and earth is like daily food. we drink air, and we grasp what we cannot hold, incredible lightness of being, heaviness of the fragments
of the trees/wood that was planted in our forests that are now dying.
you cannot plant moss, it has no seeds.
creation is filled with beautiful and horrific elements, majesty of horror that we do not often realize but crave as we do the trembling clouds that move above -
we dance under the shadows of a crown, the owl and the woodpecker nearby, waiting.
the eye of the crow follows us.
