 Though all's in motion, who is passing by?
The after-image never stays the same.
There was a thicket where I went to die,
And there I thrashed, my thighs and face aflame.

But my least motion changed into a song,
And all dimensions quivered to one thing.

not nearly as mundane as the score implies, full of adventure

Lovely stillness here, like a luminist painting. The poetic title makes me think there must be a Bear in these woods.

Really nice photo, and I get it, but this shot needs to be taken from down on the ground. The angle is far too high to have any connection, despite the sentiment. Really nice photo, though.

Beautiful shot with clarity. Quite a biblical feel.
