ROOTED in REALITY
"Moments of perception can build into
a lifetime of spiritual serenity,
as I have excellent reason to know.
Roots of reality,
supplanting the neurotic underbrush
will hold fast despite the high winds
of the forces which would destroy us,
or which we would use to destroy
ourselves.
--Bill Wilson,
letter, 1949

WORDS OF THE ARTIST, Thomas Jergel
"This is a conceptual piece I made.
It is all about how I feel everything is rooted in reality and connected,
the tree rooted in the ground,
the birds attracted to the tree,
the light bringing an otherwise dull tree a beautiful glow along
the mysteriously atmospheric and beautiful dark reds of the sky.
The roots of the tree is also depicted
as being connected to human beings
with the roots connecting with a bodypart,
which bodypart it actually is, I'm not telling
because I want you to make up your own thoughts
about what might best connect
the trees and nature to us humans."

i do believe there is a connect between us and nature....kinda glad i dont have a root running into me, but...ha...we are all in the cycle of life together...
ReplyDeleteI truly believe nature is a part of me and that I am a part of nature!
ReplyDeleteMy most peaceful times are when I am with nature!
And I love to write about nature as that also gives me much peace!
Great post, thanks for sharing Steve!
And that photo is amazing :)
probably it's the navel.. that's kind of an open connection, isn't it...? smiles.. i def. think we're connected in some way
ReplyDeleteClaudia:
ReplyDeleteNavel...I think you may be right, girl. Or maybe the "dirt" we are made from? :-)
Margie:
Me too, almost everyone enjoys and "feels good" during time spent in Nature. But I'm thinking right now...are we ALSO not Nature, a part of it? Even thoug we don't act like it at times. But, what's so different...we don't act very good with PEOPLE a lot of the time either!
Brian:
That's the connection...the "cycle of life".
I am a believer that all things are connective to the universe. I'm glad I came over for a read..
ReplyDeletePeace & Light my friend..
I believe all tings ARE the Universe...kinda hard to explain...in fact, IMPOSSIBLE. Whoever says they "have the key" to knowledge, step quietly away from that person.
DeleteOK, here goes: The "key to knowledge" is...
UNKNOWING!
Oh how I love that PEACE and LIGHT!
Thanks for allowing me use of that, I don't know how to wish anyone more.

ReplyDeleteThank you--I just spent MINUTES on your blog comment area saying how remiss I am in recognizing how inconsequential is so much of what I do. HAHA!
