  The divine energy of the universe possesses a physical body, a vehement force that seeks to flow into other. It will not stop. It can not stop. Energy and inspiration spewing vicious sparks from a molten core. Stillness. Delicacy. Innocence. Magic visions that torment and tease. Apocalyptic moments of devastating beauty. Budheads. Angry twigs and ravens. A molten fuschia sunset bleeding ruptured spleen - belching sods of earth and gravel. A gush of release and wetness. Sapient birdsong slowed down. The lifetime of a tree. A silent but deeply felt connection with strangers on a bus, in a hallway.

Physics, cosmology, maths, pattern, chaos, technology, evolution, consciousness, divinity. The heady crux of spiritual and primal. The ethereal that springs from earth.

Dark heroes. Restraint and restriction. The purity of intent. Physical bodies transcended. A quest. Enlightenment. In-the-moment. The exquisiteness of a shutter... release.
