#7 Nature’s Watching

“Nature’s Watching”
Yarn Art by Artist @AmiStreetArt

I heard a voice coming from a small nest
Seated upon a long low branch of a tree
Just above my head
The voice sounded like the roar of the wilderness
And my soul was devastated
So I climbed the tree carefully
To see how this could be
And when I found the tiny nest
It was empty
Save for a cipher’s clue
Written in broken egg shells
And once decoded
The message read
“The king of the beasts survives
On the wind of the smallest wing”

#6 The Way Home

The Way Home
Painting Conceived and Rendered by Artist Bjørn Kolbjørnsen

There’s a light in the heart of darkness
There’s a path in the forest primeval
Tattered maps and old equations
Could never be so true

#5 Holocene Fractures

Holocene Fractures
Conceived and Created by Glass Artist – Æsa BjörkMulti-Disciplinary Work Utilizing 3D Mapping Techniques
High Resolution GIF Rendered By Artist

You wore a mystic’s mask
Playing a secret game
Making light shine from your womb
To envelop us
Arc of tension
Between
Hue and abyss
X Ray images
Of Aurora Borealis
Who in the hell made heaven?
With it’s daunting allure
Daring ball and chain
To fly like a kite?
Remove the mask
For lost or found
You’re home

Ausevika Helleristningsfelt, Western Norway
Norwegian Stone Age Art (circa 3000 BCE)
Neolithic Artists – Unknown

Photo in contrast – Torsvik / Winter

Skin I’m in
Of ancient origin
Camouflaged vehicle
Of my inner life force
In a mysterious world
Survival
Predator
Instinct
I stand
If I move towards you
Or run from you
I must choose
Between the lines
Of fear and love

#3 Planisphere

Planisphere
Conceived by Artist and Animator – Simone Hooymans

I drank the drunken dream
Lost found awakened drown
Hypnotic tunnel
Magnetic light
Watery world broke
Oxygen spoke
And I cried
For I knew I had not reached heaven
I was now a dreaming seed
Cocoon adrift
Castaway wandering
Paths of jagged blue Earth
In search of a loving Master
From whom I would break free

#2 Sofia and the Mountain

Sofia and the Mountain
Conceived and Painted by Artist Naeem Searle

On the edge of a thorn
I found love’s face
So to all souls unborn
Or who remain in this place
Let it always be sworn
Carved on entropy’s trace
I lived in Wild Grace
I lived in Wild Grace
I lived in Wild Grace

Your Way

No-one has marked out the road
you are to take
out in the unknown
out in the blue.
This is your road.
Only you
will take it.
And there’s no
turning back.
And you haven’t marked your road
either.
And the wind smoothes out your tracks
on desolate hills.

-Olav H. Hauge

The Peace of Wild Things

When despair grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief.
I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting for their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

-Wendell Berry
To the wildness and the unknown,

onwards;
