Description In Wind and Shadow We Will Sing



What song does Mother Earth sing? Is it a celebration of diversity, or a lament for the destruction we work upon her soil; for the poisoning of her water, and many plants and creatures? If we could see the spirit of our planet personified, what a mystery she would be! Creator and Destroyer, she nurtures and abandons with equal passion, gentleness and ferocity. She is the Wilderness, and she is our home. We have no other.

Come out into the wilderness, into danger and life, and let us sing together the eternal and ancient lay, the epic music of death, birth, love and betrayal. As we spin among the stars, dancing in this great universe like a mote of dust in a sunbeam, we will breathe in cool air, drink of crystal streams, wander under the sky's fire and eat of the production of nutrients and rich loam.

The beautiful earth will cry us to sleep with dreams of promise carried on the sighing wind.

You made me speechless once again.
Now this is a painting of yours I'd definately by a print of. The dream would be to own the real piece, but a print would be the next best thing...

You remind me that I should be taking better photos of the work. I am one of those who sells the original, even though I have been told many times not to.

that's DEFINITELY your best work *_* I can't take my eyes away from this piece. I really love the symbolism of roses and lilies there, like the woman spreading invisible wings to be free... I can feel the breeze of freedom...
