Earth's dendrites!! Trees are Mother's brain cells so large we don't recognize them for what they are. Intelligence, wisdom, generosity, commitment, beauty, selflessness. That's what trees teach by their very being.
Thee are such beautiful lines. As you know, anything that mentions ink is always going to appeal to me. The idea of an inkblot fanfare is such a good image.
I don't know that I have really thought consciously about what is above the surface mirroring what is below. It's a beautiful truth. Much of who we are is not visible, but so important to who we are. Thanks, Steven.
annie thankyou. there's something about the spindly fractal face of trees before they put on their summer clothes that i am drawn to . . . . they're thinking inside that's for sure. steven
hi lucycholi - i'm thinking that perhaps the dendritic endings idea could attach to your idea. the layers of us develop inside and the dendrites extend into the collective experiencing of the planet.. steven
rachel - i love the blueblood smear of ink on water and you know it's raining this morning and when i woke i thought my first thought which is to walk a handful of kilometres off my hill and into some woods i haven't seen for a year or so. steven

ReplyDeleteTrees fascinate me, especially when they are outlines etched against the sky. I see them more as creatures than plants.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!

ReplyDeleteearth's dendrites. dan you're awesome! steven
ReplyDeleteEarth's dendrites? Oh yeah.
ReplyDeleteThe tree form is ubiquitous, like the spiral, it describes "reality."
Beautiful, Steven. Thank you.
PRECIOSO!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful calming words...
I'd take your 'book' with me to a Spa to make it complete, Steven.

ReplyDeleteaguja lots of people would agree. trees are thoughtful and filled with stories. steven
ReplyDeletetitus thankyou. steven
ReplyDeleteruth - and i'm not entirely sure about the mirroring of ourselves beneath the surface. i don't know. steven
ReplyDeletepauline trees are where i began to really appreciate the sentience and especially the love that connects all things. steven
ReplyDeletereya - i'm sitting on the edge of the river of knowing about how the treeform works as a model for describing "reality". the idea is hovering. steven
ReplyDeletedulce - thankyou for your kind comment. steven
ReplyDeleteThis image made me think that perhaps this is how God views the fingerprint of a tree. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you and yours.
the fingerprint of a tree . . . . that's got me thinking hope. steven
ReplyDeletewouldnt it be interesting if our fingerprints accrued like rings of a tree.
ReplyDeletelove the branching ink and its mirror
Inky blues are much my favourites, nothing better than wearing a raincloud and taking the sky in your arms. Beautiful, as usual, Steven.
