                <description><![CDATA[ Summer oh have we walked! Oh the moons have come and again returned. <br /><br />As the dew approaches the cooler frosty awakenings come, <br />we are also to find soma, perched beneath the ever-so-tall trees. <br /><br />Autumn's echoes and the dreams of the wise, symbiotic ways of natura. <br />Shading a thought, pouring the translation of the emotional, voices, words. <br /><br />As the wind and colors of scenery blow,  our land harbors a new scent, barely recognisable,clandestine is its approach. <br /><br />One step to build a bond, of good intent we then can sow understanding. <br />Leafs soon to fall we now cradle rain. <br /><br />I wanted to tell you i saw the stars that night. <br />Crisp air reminds of the nights of the ephemeral. <br />Now to be seen, times and change. <br /><br />Never forgotten the times shared, how one can be restless when left without, but again shall come lifting and filling moments. <br /><br />Tears are for acceptance, tears are for understanding. <br />Sometimes on a whale, i would so love to cling to. <br />Take us beyond this whole. <br />Break the mold. <br /><br />Resting now - moments far beyond, far past - making, carving us all. <br />In remembrance of excellence, healing. <br /><br />Come oh autumn!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Astrological unity<br />
Natural beauty<br />
Incantations <br />
Gripping the vast, stiff nerve of change<br />
<br />
As the Vedas arise Soma,<br />
Autumnus brings time of enchantment<br />
Elements carving paths<br />
where lay paints of seasonal change<br />
<br />
Sumor shed's its final light <br />
Trees weep, shedding falls foliage,<br />
as it descends to their feet<br />
Evanescent-not,<br />
to return bountiful <br />
<br />
Brothers and sisters harvest your patience<br />
Tame your greed <br />
Here virtues are sown<br />
Dreams soaked by the fire <br />
<br />
The cries of bounteous fecundity<br />
Apparitions of the ephemeral alteration of existence<br />
Processes of the cycle commence swiftly<br />
Stars & Moon fulfilling the circle of life<br />
Inertia harms the weak unexperienced, unprepared<br />
<br />
Most graceful she is<br />
Absolute in beauty<br />
Divination of the arrival<br />
From the Pangaea to the heights of earth<br />
<br />
Her caravan arrives and so<br />
Now articulates the wind, jargon of the trees <br />
Now comes tears of change,<br />
frigid beginnings of tempered symbiosis'<br />
<br />
Waters soon to be diamonds<br />
Sleep now maiden, <br />
to the whistling weeping willow's dream,<br />
of horizons - covered of a white carpet.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Quebec's Boreal forest is part of one of the largest tracts of ancient forest left in the world.<br />
<br />
80 per cent of the Earth's original forests have already been degraded and or completely destroyed. <br />
<br />
The Canadien Boreal ecosystem is clearcut and logged primarely to make toilet paper and facial tissue. <br />
<br />
We must stop logging in intact areas of the Boreal Forest and immediately move to more sustainable logging practices and i say none at all, replacing with environmental friendly technologies and practices. <br />
<br />
- Less than 20 per cent of the forested land managed by companies in ontario and quebec remains intact. <br />
<br />
-Intact forests become a crucial role in helping with global warming and biodiversity globally.<br />
<br />
-They log in woodland caribou habitat in Ontario and Quebec<br />
<br />
-Woodland caribou is threatened species in Canada. <br />
<br />
-16.8 million hectares of forest in Canada are licensed to be logged.<br />
<br />
- An area 175 million hectares has already been degraded by development in the Boreal Forest region. <br />
<br />
<br />
We, you , as consumers, institutions and companies have to choose ancient forest friendly tissue products.<br />
<br />
With 100 % recycled materials.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Title: The Holy Owl's heartbroke letter to the Goddess of Fire<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
While desire is detained,  I hold awaiting patiently<br />
hoping that the cutlass by my heart will be yours.<br />
<br />
Under this astral complexity only in my undying essence <br />
our love, our history<br />
and so it shall be raised to the skies<br />
<br />
My longing knows no bounds,<br />
nested somewhere <br />
placed beneath a cluster of leaves<br />
 <br />
<br />
<br />
A universal story of growth, our history, dries a sweet-tempered wind.<br />
as tears, rush to this river of anticipation <br />
<br />
Amongst the wise ones !<br />
bring to me a reality where nature is royalty.<br />
release me from this hereditary burning desire !<br />
<br />
but to desire is to know patience.....<br />
<br />
Smooth like the shoulders of the hawk<br />
i wants to tend to your pain <br />
like the rain<br />
on a dry forest floor,<br />
your eyes can give life to the darkened sectors of me<br />
<br />
I will sing the song<br />
and the wolf's cry shall echo this song to the world, <br />
earth will answer "all that I want is in your eyes"<br />
<br />
My feathers I cross <br />
my faith keeps me in flight <br />
returning in dreams...<br />
<br />
black desiring white - white desiring black<br />
<br />
Lit by your majestic flame<br />
never to burn out<br />
the candle, a totem cries to the twilight <br />
<br />
<br />
as nostalgia and memories come to soul , a broken heart is again separated in more infinite intricate pieces<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ LIBERTY IS INSTINCT<br />
<br />
action with natural consequences, undisturbed, <br />
animalistic survival skills, symbiosis<br />
<br />
thought, memory... ravens cry<br />
emotions, rivers, rains of dreams<br />
unheard are the calls of the wise<br />
<br />
the tears of tommorow<br />
insight and inspiration<br />
directs its feirce nature into positive action<br />
<br />
converging beliefs,cultures, environments<br />
encompassing time and ideals<br />
<br />
limitless possibilities yet nature dissipates..vanishes<br />
instincts, survival forgotten.<br />
<br />
smoke of the sacred grows thin<br />
animal species, spirit guides last words echo through <br />
<br />
everchanging environments<br />
sacrificing for survival... doctrines of nature<br />
<br />
shÃ¤mÉn drum calls the wind<br />
one who knows<br />
beyond the birch and evergreen<br />
lies like eyes our crafted desires<br />
<br />
beneath the soil elements have carved<br />
stories of times beyond.........<br />
<br />
stories never end<br />
<br />
a changeling <br />
an adaptation of our balance within nature<br />
adaptation - "evolution" takes on a new meaning<br />
political and emotional defeat<br />
uncontrolled desire for possession <br />
dillusions of wealth<br />
<br />
endangering human health, harming living resources and ecosystems, and impairing or interfering with amenities<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
humankind - nature<br />
a guitar- hands given<br />
heart- words spoken<br />
a river- the wind<br />
street-a conscious<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
as the sun and moon dance, elements disperse<br />
white shadows of damp lands, immerge gracefully<br />
<br />
the immense gathering of wilderness as migrations shift<br />
waters rush to the lands<br />
<br />
storms from deep within the realms of natural balance<br />
<br />
the sun carves the environment instinctively<br />
drying tears of winters maiden<br />
<br />
dreaming by the spirit catcher<br />
still she lays <br />
<br />
awaken soon dear one<br />
amongst the frozen lakes and oceans<br />
<br />
her heart beating as the ice melts again to rise<br />
<br />
sacrificing for the renewall of beauty...<br />
<br />
a new dawn, the Era begins<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ People around the world have observed spiritual and religious seasonal days of celebration during the month of June. Most have been religious holy days which are linked in some way to the summer solstice. On this day, typically JUN-21, the daytime hours are at a maximum in the Northern hemisphere, and night time is at a minimum. It is officially the first day of summer. It is also referred to as Midsummer because it is roughly the middle of the growing season throughout much of Europe.<br />
<br />
"Solstice" is derived from two Latin words: "sol" meaning sun, and "sistere," to cause to stand still. This is because, as the summer solstice approaches, the noonday sun rises higher and higher in the sky on each successive day.<br />
At the time of summer solstice, about June 22, the sun is directly overhead at noon at the Tropic of Cancer.<br />
<br />
In the Northern Hemisphere the longest day and shortest night of the year occur on this date, marking the beginning of summer.<br />

<br />
Have a great summer and appreaciate what it flourishes...<br />

<br />
Rain, rain and some sun.<br />
Flowers,buds and insects.<br />
<br />
Rain brings life.... so stop complaining.lol <br />
And the mushrooms need the H2O for their mycelium networks<br />
so the fungus amongst us may fruit.<br />
<br />
How can you better your environment this spring?<br />
It does make a difference if you try and your actions<br />
are influencing others to do so as well.<br />
If you do spring cleanning, use alternative products,<br />
no chemicals,(there not good for you or your kids nor animals).<br />
<br />
Water and vinegar for cleaning<br />
and newspaper for windows is an alternative.<br />
Recycle or give away what you do not want anymore.<br />
<br />
<br />
Have a great spring and take care of what takes care of you. earth.<br />
<br />
Symbiosis is balance!<br />

THE ERA<br />
.....<br />
<br />
Dreamcatcher (New Era 0.5) on Mar 23, 2007 <br />
<br />
In the dreamcatchers view<br />
In thy mirrors of faith and illusion<br />
<br />
The trenches of desire<br />
Thy trenches of foggy terrain<br />
Where lies our beloved maiden of winter<br />
<br />
Her closed eyes, awoken not<br />
Winds of change feed the dream<br />
Warmth takes hold<br />
A new era unfolds.<br />
<br />
A barrenness of dreams and anticipation<br />
Starving souls await...tears from winters maiden.<br />
<br />
As the rain pours replacing smooth snow of the heights<br />
<br />
......<br />
......<br />
Dreamcatcher (new era 1.0)<br />
<br />
as the sun and moon dance, elements disperse<br />
white shadows of damp lands, immerge gracefully<br />
<br />
the immense gathering of wilderness as migrations shift<br />
waters rush to the lands<br />
<br />
storms from deep within the realms of natural balance<br />
<br />
the sun carves the environment instinctively<br />
drying tears of winters maiden<br />
<br />
dreaming by the spirit catcher<br />
still she lays <br />
<br />
awaken soon dear one<br />
amongst the frozen lakes and oceans<br />
<br />
her heart beating as the ice melts again to rise<br />
<br />
sacrificing for the renewall of beauty...<br />
<br />
a new dawn, the Era begins<br />
<br />
........<br />
<br />
<br />
New Era . Part I<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Les larmes ces pour l'acceptance<br />
les larmes c'est pour la comprehension. <br />
<br />
Roots undone, leaves at our feet, <br />
The time has arisen <br />
A stiff wind has spoken <br />
<br />
The moon shed's its final light <br />
Winter shed's it's first skin. <br />
<br />
Jasper stones and a burnt sage ~ smoke of the sacred burns to it's feet. <br />
<br />
Late are the calls of distant coldness,<br />
late are the cry's of the crow.<br />
When the ice drips and the sun rises,<br />
I hear a new call,<br />
<br />
One must listen for....carefully. <br />
<br />
...........<br />
<br />
The New Era Unfolds <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The modern Era, the mountains, the vallees, united conscious.<br />
<br />
Now, an instant, a moment without time. <br />
Sacrifice, the song of the wind<br />
Yelling, awakening psychoticly the inner self. <br />
<br />
As wisdom scars , a wrinkle adds to the blood. <br />
<br />
Launch yourself to the test <br />
Life takes you, teaches you, nevertheless. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well its colder outside in some regions of the world now.<br />
<br />
Do you burn wood to heat your house? Almost half the world's wood supply is used as fuel.Think about using gas as an alternative to burning wood or coal, especially if you live in an area where pollution level is great. Gas gives off alot less emissions than wood or coal. <br />
<br />
We do not usually need the huge emitters nor the amount of wood we burn for heat. Inform yourself on the proper usages of these heating techniques and the needed fuel for the square footage of home.<br />
<br />
Burning wood or coal, the key to reducing air pollution from smoke is to burn smaller, hotter fires that produce less smoke. <br />
<br />
Here are some does and donts from the Circle of life website<br />
<br />
Do: <br />
Only burn dry wood - order dry, not green wood and store in a dry area. <br />
Store wood for at least six months before you burn it - dry wood gives off more heat; you'll save money and be warmer! <br />
Light small, hot fires - they produce less smoke. <br />
Add wood a little at a time - half filling your firebox is about right. <br />
Give the fire air - if you can see smoke from the chimney, it needs more air. <br />
Clean the chimney or flue and firebox regularly. <br />
Make your house energy efficient - save money, be warmer. Cover your windows, insulate walls and ceilings, and cut drafts using "draft sausages" and carpet. <br />
If you are throwing old newspapers out, make use of them by burning them as logs. <br />
  <br />
Do Not:<br />
Leave the fire burning overnight <br />
Dampen the air supply - smoldering fires make more smoke. <br />
Burn treated, painted, green or wet wood. <br />
Burn plywood or particleboard. <br />
Burn rubbish, including plastic and cardboard. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ The Solstice harvest of Hypericum Perforatum (Saint John's Worth) was <br />
a rather large one this year. <br />
<br />
This is one of the most important herbs of midsummer that I harvest in the wild. It is strongly influenced by the midday sun. The countless gold and yellow filaments burst out of the centre like sun rays. <br />
The flowers come out during the dry weather near summer solstice in june, they look like tiny suns. <br />
It is devoted to the sun like no other plant indegenous of Europe. <br />
<br />
As a medicinal herb, this plant of the sunflower family has a soothing effect on the nerves, bring light into the soul, and chase away darkness, <br />

<br />
One of the best herbs for mood elevation <br />
It usually grows in dry, sunny places, where the ground is well drained (meaning rocks in soil helps!).The seeds germinate in sunlight. <br />
<br />
The plant(s) after picking must be dryed upside down in ventilated area and preferably very dark. <br />
I make tea, infusions with it. <br />
<br />
John's Worth is so saturated with light that it can pass it's light effects onto other organisms. Light skinned people, (or even dark) can develop photosensitivity;infected, inflammed/burnt skin; and stomach cramps when you eat it or drink it and go directly in alot of sunlight, it is serious , watch out! <br />
<br />
Chemists believe that the red pigment hypericin, a phenolic compound, is responsible for the euphoric antidepressant effect. <br />
I think it is interesting after tea, to observe the effects in meditation following the homeopathic method of proving. Bright geometric shapes and clouds rain are usually bright behind closed lids, this being the entopic phenomena of light. <br />
<br />
Leave some for the birds and bees, dont go cutting them all down! <br />
Do not rip or pull, cut on an angle over the branch junction to favorise the replenishing and growth of the plant. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Spring season and the equinox arrives soon. <br />
For all those whom been waiting  to get to there gardens <br />
and or relating to the blossoming and fruting of many <br />
species of flora. The sport fanatics, the fishers , those living in ice and will be for the next 4-5 months, also those that will not even see an immediate change in the seasons and those whom say goodbye to snow and hello to rain and spring flowers... of course <br />
the mushroom hunters!! lol...HAVE a great equinox , and spring season!! <br />
~~~~~~~~<br />
<br />
Ive noticed a large amount of changes in the climat and temperature/humidity relativity this winter. It is know obvious that the change in the atmosphere is clearly demontrated these years.<br />
I find it is rapidly , growing in speed and doesnt take as long to see major drops or rises in temperature or humidity and lack of. <br />
<br />
The Pine forests in Boreale forests of Canada are now higly threatened by an insect that is originally from the Province of British Colombia. <br />
<br />
(I dont remenber the name of the insect now~ but will add in here if found!!) <br />
<br />
It ususally strived on a small amounts of Pine forests yearly being part of the ecosystem, now due to the climat change and abundance of humidity and <br />
higher/lower temperautres, they have multiplied~ well ALOT. Of course these forests are threatened by human already for commercial sales, but this impact is to seem desastrous. Many northern mammals are put face with upsetting situation in arctic regions as well. <br />
<br />
I am hoping the government doesnt use chems to preserve there wood "investements" .<br />
<br />
The sell of wood should definetly be slowed down globally. <br />
<br />
May spring blossom your dreams.<br />
Great equinox and season all  <br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Carmina Burana<br />
Catulli Carmina<br />
Triompho Di Afrodite<br />
<br />
Carl Orff (1895-1982) <br />
<br />
: Trionfi :<br />
Dirigent: Eugen Jochum<br />
1953<br />
1943/1956<br />
<br />
------------------------------<br />
"There is a little town about 100km south of Munich, Germany, called Benediktbeuren. This town has a monastery dating back to medieval times. In 1803, the library of this monastery was being renovated, and a wonderful discovery was made; a manuscript, dating back to the 13th century containing over 250 previously unknown songs and verses, rich in variety and inventiveness, in both Latin and German. The monastery's librarian collected and published them as the Carmina Burana, meaning Songs of Beuren.<br />
<br />
Carl Orff was a German composer who lived all his life in Munich. He was convinced that everybody had within them an innate musical ability and that this ability needs to be nurtured from childhood. He developed a music teaching method, children's musical instruments and an entire new concept of music performance.<br />
<br />
His idea was of the Total Theatre, combining music, words, visual design, movement and dance to overwhelm the senses. When he was given a copy of the Carmina Burana he knew he had found the perfect vehicle to bring his concept to life. In 1937, Carl Orff's Carmina Burana was born. He described his composition as secular songs for soloists and choruses, accompanied by instruments and magic images. A simple concert rendition of Carmina Burana misses half the fun.<br />
<br />
Of the 250 poems in the manuscript, Orff selected just 24 to set to music. But what a spectrum in this selection! They describe everything from religious devotion to lust and gluttony. (See the full text lyrics of Carmina Burana).<br />
<br />
<br />
The Wheel of FortuneOrff's Carmina Burana opens with the stunning and famous O Fortuna, its text is a medieval resigned acceptance of the Wheel of Fortune as the determiner of one's fate. This piece alone is so familiar to the general public, having been used in many movies and commercials that they may not even know that it comes from a much larger work of classical music.<br />
<br />
At left we have a medieval depiction of the Wheel, Lady Luck at the center, and around the perimeter a Prince made Pauper and back again.<br />
<br />
The bulk of Carmina Burana is 23 pieces in 3 sections: <br />
Primo vere --- In Springtime<br />
Here we have poems about pastoral simplicity, man's encounter with nature and how the seasons bring on love. <br />
In Taberna --- In the Tavern<br />
Part II deals with wine. The rowdy atmosphere breaks out with drinking songs and hymns to gambling and debauchery. <br />
Cour d'amours --- The Court of Love<br />
The final section describes the passions of men and women with the theme that natural sexual feelings should be expressed freely. <br />
Orff concludes Carmina Burana with O Fortuna, the Wheel comes full circle, the cycle complete. All of man's petty feelings and endevours are in the fickle hands of Fate.<br />
<br />
There have been many fine recordings of Carmina Burana but Andre Previn's famous 1975 version for EMI brings out the uncorked spirit of the work, full of fire, and not taking itself too seriously. This is the pick of a fine bunch. "<br />

Autumn shed's her first skin <br />
Shaken trees, hunted scavengers. <br />

From the depths of night <br />
exposed faiths shoved under <br />
questioned, without a fright... <br />

Risen from truth , tender thought <br />
shattered vibes from beneath <br />
drain , dreams, soaked by the fire. <br />
Unleash, arise inner pain, recognise cries at worlds feet, the essence of understanding, <br />

Vers la nature de ce néant<br />
Quand sans lombre dun avertissement<br />
La pupille du noir englobant<br />
Prit lil sage de mon front saillant<br />
<br />
Cest alors en me réveillant<br />
Que je saisis quil était temps<br />
Daller consulter les enfants<br />
Sur là-propos de lévénement<br />
<br />
Après quelques virevoltements<br />
Parmis les jeux delfes dansants<br />
Je pus atteindre plus calmement<br />
Les jeunes chamans de notre temps<br />

Lune delle un nouveau monde peignant<br />
Capta ma présence à linstant<br />
Détournant de luvre lentement<br />

en son antre profond, répandant le flot dénergie vitale<br />
dans les ramages doù il sélançait en une danse nocturne<br />
feuilles frémissantes dans lair frais du temps serein. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The philosofocal outlook on how we take part in relation with nature. <br />
A symbiosis we cannot directly change. Human, an animal <br />
a being from earth -or beyond to some- , anything we do or become , <br />
is another part of our natural being, our natural evolution. Philosofocal for we have no conclusions to state but weve lives to be lived, ressources to be eaten. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Deforestation ,amongst many environmental failures to humans, are <br />
a true example of one way we go against a symbiosis with our planet. <br />
We undertake most of our desires, exploitations of ressources , spreads of cattle, coffee in south america and so on. As we furfill these needs, <br />
we destroy at an unimagenable rate our surrounding forests, rain forests and , well lungs of the earth. <br />
The impacts to earth and to our perspectives on nature and lifestyles, are crucial. <br />
<br />
Even if the human is not grateful towards nature in this manner, he still is a entitiy of the earth, and it's process of deforestation becomes natural, in its evolution but it becomes unnatural due to the lack of power most of the population have to change this, restriction of goods and few choices of sources. <br />
Of course it is but a mere fraction of the worlds population that even take these choices (the choices to use up ressources or not*deforestation) , but we as a public have more power in this society by what we buy , as opposed to our votes. If we declare our passivity in what we consume we feed the need, and the destruction, giving way to vivisection and chemicals in foods. <br />
These aspects will have huge impacts on our metabolisms and our atmospheres, meteorology and even our traditions and ideologies in relation to nature. <br />
<br />
Our path is leading us, if we as humans are led by our sciences and monetary , political strategies of today, a biological change in our bodies <br />
cause of the chemicals , preservatives and most pharmaceutics is eminent, also the world.See what most dont undertsand especially when we speak of Forest Preservation , is that our goverbments hav eno control and contracts are sighned. We plant trees, lol <br />
this planting of the pine lets say in northern quebec, it is planted cause thats what they aspire to be ccut down in 25 years. First of all <br />
you may not do so in nature, theres going to be another tree, in this quebec case, the evergreens that will want to grow first then the pine will grow in a soil appropriate for its growth, this takes about 100-150 years...lol <br />
So the impacts here on the investers is the fact that they have no more forests they notice, and now must buy of private owners, and so on, look at us in south america, it slowly dissipates. Nature now has issues also, when these people roll over the land they clearcut with there trucks, foolishly they roll with 4 ton trucks, over the same region 4-5 times makin gthe soil almost impossiblt to grow something, a desert land, <br />
no animals , nobody...... <br />
<br />
<br />
A natural phenomena , human evolution, we are many to be able to change this course, but only so many have the power to say so... <br />
A stark reminder of what we all contribute to, sad indeed. Myself im interested in permaculture, sustainable living and I hope to develop that furthur in the future, it remains a constain goal I strive towards. <br />
Horrendous destruction goes on in the rainforests, unimaginable almost ...its so bad. <br />
As an individual we cannot turn that round, the damage is done. But we can start from home, look at ourselves and how we live and work on improving it. That little extra effort to recycle ? To look at our energy consumption, to buy fair trade. Where you spend your money is probably more influential on world affairs than your vote methinks....start evaluating yourself. <br />
Almost 80 per cent of the world's original forests have been degraded or completely destroyed. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ The elders Forests, lies deep within the sacred moments of lurking, ancient thrones*<br />
Foundation rooted to mountanous gardiens, Birch, Beech and Oak.<br />
Whistles the wind, dreams of distant, untouched plains of understanding, enlightment.<br />
<br />
Growing amongst moses and rock, liquids spread harbour, symbiosis revealing ways of the circle<br />
of , tree of life.  Follow the forged sighns in time, blueprints to the upperworld.<br />
Silenced thoughts growing so gracefully, delivering a quest ,<br />
 the soma's request for the divine.<br />
Expand, dilate , create the diffused emotions feeding our hearts and carcass<br />
 we drag,step by leap, <br />
lay and rest our skeleton like glances, fear not , rest.<br />
<br />
awake , awake..........<br />
<br />
Running through the vines of instinct,<br />
over the shoulder under the feet, where does ye stand?<br />
The weightlessness of being amplifies the ocular conscious,<br />
roaming the terrain we unravle the desires under the fire.<br />
<br />
Like a rabit, ruthless prey snapping back at it's faith,<br />
we consume without knowing our roots so long.<br />
Raise the inner core, release the images , so ye may taste me blood!<br />
<br />
awaken we are not......awoken not....<br />
<br />
Tied the voice, ascend to the weightlessness of being -reflections<br />
of states & perhaps to come faiths. Forget never the voice under , for return is <br />
never to escape the lanscapes. In a such seductive manner as to rise imagery of <br />
descriptive nature, " Fires &water-sand carpets the masses of fruitified wombs,<br />
delighted senses and energetic waves of reconnaisance. Waves brushing ages,<br />
her art we harvest, her children we bare. Tears of comfort , dilatation, quests continue.<br />
A faint drop resonates, spilled blood over a  lucious green carpet , circle of radiance<br />
spoonfeed my being, my entity in manners only my  inner sense can taste, the non-conscious<br />
sensical tentical. <br />
<br />
noir, noir desirant le blanc,<br />
                           blanc desirant le noir, noir...<br />
<br />
Serpents lead the caravan, we arive soon to furfill, heal our knowledge.<br />
To again plant seeds of gratitude , and regain stable yet natural truths.<br />
Whiteshadows and a thick , dampening cloud. ]]></description>
