Impression arabesque #1

nobody@flickr.com (TheManWhoPlantedTrees) — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 03:04:00 -0700

"Christian, Jew, Muslim, shaman, Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain, river, each has a secret way of being with the mystery, unique and not to be judged." Mawlānā Jalāl-ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī

Mevlana who is also known as Rumi, was a philosopher and mystic of Islam, but not a Muslim of the orthodox type. His doctrine advocates unlimited tolerance, positive reasoning, goodness, charity and awareness through love. To him and to his disciples all religions are more or less truth. Looking with the same eye on Muslim, Jew and Christian alike, his peaceful and tolerant teaching has appealed to men of all sects and creeds.

"Focusing on the divine beauty of the ney, percussive instruments, and poetic vocals in various languages, Mercan Dede puts forth an album dedicated to his teacher, the Mevlana in celebration of his 800th birthday. Music, dance and poetry were art forms integral to the Mevlana`s teachings, and on this album Mercan Dede creates a final tribute that fully conveys the lessons the Mevlana set out to teach eight centuries ago. Peace is the central theme of this album and as a result it sets out to convey humanistic messages and poems from one track to the next."

"If you gotta run, run from hope

I know I'll never be lonely
I've got songs in my blood
I'm carrying all the love of an orchestra
gimme the love of an orchestra

So now in my deepest sorrow
there's no need for despair
I'm carrying all the love of an orchestra
gimme the love of an orchestra

If you gotta run, run from hope"

"I will only, let you down.
I will only, let you down.
But my door, is always open.
Yeah my door, is always open.

Well i don't think, that i ever loved you.
But the world is dieing to meet you.
Oh black birds they sing off the mountains.
Joyeous love songs that drift through the houses.

But now i'm free,
Now i'm free,
Now i'm free from all your pain.

One dancepiece with Sparklehorse's music taken from his album "Dreamt for light years in the belly of a mountain", performed by The Scottish Dance Theatre
Coreography by company dancer Joan Cleville | vimeo.com/28333037

Sparklehorse was an american indie rock band led by the singer and multi-instrumentalist Mark Linkous. Joe Tangari describes Linkous's songs as "defiantly surrealist...with all manner of references to smiling babies, organ music, birds, and celestial bodies. In fact, some of the lyrics are so surreal that it's hard to imagine they're even metaphors for anything.
Linkous committed suicide in Knoxville, Tennessee, on March 6, 2010.

I made this photograph while driving back home on the mountain road, falling in obliquity coldness at 6% ...When suddenly and magically started snowing, slowed the speed as this shimmering hallucination settled before me. Kept driving inside the darkest silence and changed to different frequency within my head.lights....

" We'll sing love songs about heartbreak and grief
Sing it's not just music but the pains not brief
We sing, how your love is like a knife to the back
Well I was stabbed and bleeding
but still begging for attack

But I was looking through slow, slow glass
looking through slow
slow glass

"(...)
Oh the dark night is moving slower, and sleep wont rescue me
Leaving me here to suffer, this shameful misery
So I long for a taste of freedom, or at least freedom from this bed
Silently picking up my clothes, I turn on my heels and I fled
And the dark of the street is no solace to me
Oh and I don't believe my conscience, will ever be clear again

Cos everything I love has gone away
Oh, cos everything I love has gone away

You know in a year, it's gonna be better
You know in a year, I'm gonna be happy "

"It's the first day of spring
And my life is starting over again
The trees grow, the river flows
And its water will wash away my sins

For I do believe that everyone has one chance
To fuck up their lives
But like a cut down tree, I will rise again
And I'll be bigger and stronger than ever before

For I'm still here hoping that one day you may come back

A sagração da Primavera

Dia 34, de Joaquim Pessoa, in "Ano comum"

Sagrado é o coração da árvore, a vigília da pedra, a gravidez da amêndoa, o pulsar do rio, a timidez do bosque, o trabalho discreto da semente. Sagrado é o lenho, e a erva, o cavalo, o boi e o cão, sagrado é o sol, sagrada a casa, a noite, o dia, o círculo e a pirâmide. E sagrado é o vento e a vontade, e o branco e a esperança. Sagrados são os montes e os filhos e os sentidos e os pássaros e os humildes. É sagrada a dança e a cabeça e o azul e a primavera. Sagrados são os cornos do inverno. E as flores amarelas. Sagrado é o desejo que humedece o corpo. Sagrada é a distância. E a memória. Sagrados são os lábios, o cérebro e as mãos. E os astros, e a espuma e a teimosia dos metais. E é sagrada a arte e o amor e a claridade. E o centro do homem. E a voz da terra. E o equilíbrio dos instintos. E o mistério dos mortos e dos vivos. E as razões do amor. Sagrada é a forma e a beleza e a luz e o fogo dos teus olhos.

To me it's difficult and rare to make a floral photograph, but today i had a blissful solar journey in the presence of blooming almond trees, and decided to celebrate Springtime earlier, recalling Stravinsky and Pina
