Transcendental Sympathy / Tales of the soil
(..Like daisies in the field
They whisper some secrets
Into the messengers
A small ecstasy
An understanding
A sound so pure and known
Has emerged from the sky
And cast them to moan
To say a chant, a prayer
A queer memoir on its own..)
We ground ourselves in a new cloak of light. The sound of the soil carries us to new discoveries. We exist together in a land of pulsating rhythm, where many tales form, only to show what we have already known. Visceral and abundant, we listen to our bodies as we listen to nature. Guided by our zeitgeist, we embrace time in its true mystical essence.
How do we listen? How do we experience and connect? How do we form bonds with our communities and our spiritual essence? Transcendental Sympathy becomes a Tale of the Soil, and invites us to feel and play, and explore the possible futures of our personal utopias.
