Flowers….the enlightenment of plants

Posted in from the consulting room, philosophy, photography on August 9, 2010| 3 Comments »

Seeing beauty in a flower could awaken humans, however briefly, to the beauty that is an essential part of their own innermost being, their true nature. The first recognition of beauty was one of the most significant events in the evolution of human consciousness. The feelings of joy and love are intrinsically connected to that recognition. Without our fully realizing it, flowers would become for us an expression in form of that which is most high, most sacred and ultimately formless within ourselves. Flowers, more fleeting, more ethereal, and more delicate than the plants out of which they emerged, would become like messengers from another realm, like a bridge between the world of physical forms and the formless. They not only had a scent that was delicate and pleasing to humans, but also brought a fragrance from the realm of the spirit. Using the word “enlightenment” in a wider sense than the conventionally accepted one, we could look upon flowers as the enlightenment of plants.

Light and water

Posted in from the dark room, photography on July 26, 2010| 1 Comment »

I love how light on water constantly changes. As the clouds move across the face of the sun, or the sun’s rays flicker through the leaves of the trees, flashes of colour and light dance on the surface of the water. If the water is flowing over rocks of different colour, the show is just amazing. Here’s what I saw as I stood upstream and looked down through a little stone bridge.

The water flowing down from the falls, was richly peaty, which added another range of colour entirely.

I found four of the six sculptures on one day’s walk, but I’ll need to go back and try and find the other two.
One thing which really struck me about these figures is how different they are in their individual contexts……not just a bit different, but VERY different.
