I was impressed by a news article of 14 young whales,
who hadn't found the right way into the Atlantic Ocean and
have died at the coasts of the Netherlands' and Germans'
Islands of the North Sea, last week.
A photo was taken from above, out of a helicopter, I think.
One can see the (now) flat bodies of some whales and blood and
the traces of the digger (for opening the whale bodies,
before they can explode from gas of rot).
The feeling of the end of an era (on different levels)
It makes me feel so, so sad. It scares me. But:
Try to get no apathy, but the right dosis of sympathy for
the bigger picture of the rhythm of life and death
I have a coffee and imagine
the seaside with a wide horizon and the rhythm of wash of waves.
Calm the breath, calm the mind

AntwortenLöschenand wonderful that this event touched you and entered your art. It is worthwhile to consider a larger picture, yet whales dying on earth feels like a huge wrong event.

Sad beginning but then you created something hopeful and beautiful. The circle of life.
AntwortenLöschenFinding the balance and keeping the rhythm is often a struggle, especially when compassionate people (YOU) feel so deeply. Isn't art wonderful for helping us work through it all. Take care, Ariane. xo

Of course, Dear. As I wake up in the morning, it comes to my mind, that is could be a missunderstanding, that you will host so soon... or a wish of me ;-)
LöschenKisses, left right left
A.
thank you! xxx
Löschenand yes... life and death rhythms can make us feel weary... in your image the whales and helicopter become kind of one, which is how it is in the universe, isn't it? you've pinpointed this, again. how sweet your worry of the whale. however sad, nature does is cruel...
AntwortenLöschenand you did, didn't you? notice we're at rhythm n°2. it's an encore, and we need it! ah, rhythm. and now for some more tea and biscuits! (not really, am moving my butt over to the stove. must start supper...).

Oh that is so sad about the whales. I know that whales do beach themselves sometimes, but I wonder why that happens. Poor creatures. It's wonderful that you could commemorate them and their lives. Big hugs.
AntwortenLöschenoh yes, I was impressed,too and and news of that kind are scary... I love your post, Ariane!
AntwortenLöschenx Stefanie
Sad and touching and aptly commemorated - thank you for that
AntwortenLöschenBeautiful and sad, both in one. Such impressive creatures. I know what you mean about feeling the end of an aera. Feel similarly. But perhaps something new will start. We just don't see it yet. Your posting - wonderful as always!
