1. Ferrum
Alka-seltzer currents in a vast
diamond ocean, colors separated blend smear through each other. Aqua greens through tourmalines, brisk blues
through lavender hues. The ocean is a
countless number of living creatures celebrating life in dance. Each particle exists of itself but also as
the whole. So as each speck of ocean is
a conscious being, it has a collective consciousness which belongs to all the
ocean.
Micro bead of liquid life
thrashed upwards from aqueous projection soars in the air tumbling in slow
motion, the universe’s code reflected on its surface. Light + water = blue prints for all that
exists. And then innocent drop catches
onto bird mid flight, rides its feathers and goes onward to another world. Water droplet absorbs into bird’s skin, now
they are one. Transformation,
interconnectivity, interdependence.
Swath of birds silently seated on
saline throne.

Ambiguous water decanting from the sky.
3. Splith
Venerable monks candle glown Om
in dimly lit cavernous architecture.
Browned stone, deep darkness. Effervescent
children playing outdoors atop chilled snow dusted mountain. Resounding character from each chant meld
into universal being, swirled like a spiritual ice cream.
The sound, palpable as hot butter
opens the oversized monastery door.
Children continue playing. The
cumulative chant travels down the mountain, wraps around the trees, passes by
the small animals, and onto the road, far, far away. What tiny echo remains from the projection
spills into the streets of a 3rd world country. Homeless parents and children bundled up, run
down shacks for living. The Buddhist Om
surrounds them and subtly offers a glimpse of hope. The people of the town receive blessing.

Ancient woman sweeps her stone
front steps. Tall grass and trees shroud
her home. She sees the town below in
ordinary routine.
5. Renitency
Children sitting on the dock of a small
stream after school. Inscrutable object
floats downwards, and ominous feeling from it.
They spare a moment for its attention, then continue on their elementary
conversation. Object floats past view
and the thought is no more.

Cat exploring the outdoors; nooks and
crannies around the property. Small
urban inlets.
7. Alchemy
A breeze from off shore welcomes itself to
the town. Spiraling to playfully shove
off a woman’s straw hat, and providing relief for the over exerted working man
in overalls. Tide of the sky. It blusters through 2nd story
clothes lines, offers a boost to the bike rider peddling goods. Gusts a fleeting memory, then passes it by,
to a reminiscent young man.
It climbs the snow strewn
mountains, upwards through the trees and passed the small animals. It wisps by the children playing atop, then
through the oversized monastery doors.
It extinguishes the candles inside the temple. Then the chanting stops. A minute passes and the monks step outside
the door. They laugh wholeheartedly.
