Wonder of Wonders!
In early autumn, I gazed out my window....
I saw images in the sunspots flickering on the giant oak tree. Many animal faces and forms greeted me in a backdrop of rough bark and soft grass. Shapes of animals, wild and tame, appeared. How come I didn't notice them before?
My memory wound back to a music documentary about * David Gilmour: Wider Horizons. David and his mother were walking through a grove of bright green trees in full leaf. "I see pictures in the trees. Do you see them?" his mother inquired.
"No."
My next personal memory presented itself as images of the painting called **Peaceful Mountain. Rocks, water and grass painted itself sprinkled with animal shapes, clear and faded. A figure in white appeared. What next?
I shot some more photos. Smile!
As I look at these uploads, even more shapes appear as floating foams, ever changing.
*** Lately I've been enjoying puppy and kitten shows and videos, increasing my awareness and developing stronger bonds with the animal kingdom and with my own pets. These gentle positive scenes enhance meditative states of mind and increase relaxation responses.
Another day near sunset, grass glowed bright ethereal green. Blueish shadows brought multiple dimensions to life. I felt as if I could see the cartoon segment from the Disney movie Fantasia, The Sorcerer's Apprentice springing to life!
