Razor's Edge for 4/23/10

This Razor's Edge is simple. Below are three videos. Watch them. Watch them one by one and respond - with words, with dance, with color, with clay, with whatever you feel moved to use. Or watch one. Turn your thoughts inward and listen to your body as you watch the power of the earth.

NaPoWriMo: day 19 "envelop"

.

envelop
by dot.

your ash covers me
threatens to smother me
makes my breathing hard
makes the cars stop
the planes won't fly

we try to harness you
to build over you
to go around you and deny
your power
to ignore you

but as we grow and sprawl
as we multiply in numbers
as we take and extort
and ignore the subtle or not
so subtle rumblings

you don't sleep
you wait for the moment
you wait, you warn us
if we listen, if we try
we can hear you

your beauty envelops me
changes sunlight to dark
blues and greens become muted gray
your power your breath
I stand in awe
