CRAW #7
To many titles came to mind when I created this:
“TWIN SONS OF DIFFERENT MOTHERS”
“BESIDE MYSELF”
“GEMINI CRIES”
….. etc.
What would you title this?
Music today is by post rock band HAMMOCK. Enjoy their song and this inspired video (best in full screen), BREATHTURN
I’ve always been drawn to the old testament prophets in the Bible they were the creative masters of their time. One such prophet was Ezekiel and the following passage has always inspired me when I’m feeling close to death (physically, creatively, spiritually etc.) It is unusual in that is starts from a place of death/decay/destruction and comes to life. It seems to fit this image and the inspirational music. Enjoy.
“The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he set me in the middle of a valley; it was full o bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, “Son of Man, can these bones live?” I said, “O Sovereign Lord, you alone know.” Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the sovereign Lord says: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you and you will come to live.’” So I spoke to the bones and as I was speaking there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together bone to bone. I looked and the tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them. Then, I said, “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these bones, that they may live.” And breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet.
…Son of Man, people say, “Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone.” Tell the people this, “I will put my Spirit in you and you will live.” ~ Ezekiel 37:1-14
The bottom line: no matter how dead we may feel. It doesn’t matter how dead we perceive others to be, there is ALWAYS hope. There is a Universal force (whatever name you give it – God, Allah, Yahweh, Buddha nature, Jesus etc) that can and will give us what we need to carry on. You can be the light. I believe in your victory!
This has that x-ray feeling to it. Nice.
THx.
ma che bello questo video!
I have followed your posts and, today, when I saw your message to the world, I felt: you found yourself!
“BESIDE MYSELF”
Loved the video – beautiful. A title? Maybe separated at birth? From this angle the poor twins don’t look like the brightest pair. (‘A few chops short of a barbie’ as we would say) – oh barbie = barbecue
The Thich Nhat Hanh phrase, (Long live impermanence) comes to mind, the light of life is here through the changes. Craw 7 — Reminds me a bit of a couple of hockey goalies who had a rough one, probably a game 7 in a championship with plenty of overtime periods and such. Both look ready to hang up the mask. ciao
Thanks for the Thich Nhat Hanh phrase. Love it!!!!
and yes, I see the hockey connection – hehehe too funny
For a title I would go with “Four Sockets” as opposed to four eyes. When I went through a period of serious depression, the valley of dry bones in Ezekiel 37 was a verse that I could identify with and did give me hope in God.
I like that title.
And I’m glad someone else is inspired by Ezekiel.
“Enlightening dialogue” maybe?!
Arresting, iconic image (and lovely sentiment in the body of the post). Can’t think of a title that would be fitting (just ill-fitting).
fitting or ill-fitting works. Have a great day.
Just spit-balling here, but to me it’s two aliens holo-projected into our life-stifling three dimensions and asking one of us to take them to our leader. I’m just glad they didn’t appear at MY bedroom after dark! Yikes!
