Ondae Warriors in Triplicate

People use their imaginations in interesting ways sometimes, when they look at trees. Using our imaginations, we can transform trees into rocket ships, or clipper ships, or even people. I do this all the time. With this particular tree, a cork bark Japanese black pine cv. ‘Ondae’, I transform it into a very old Mayan warrior, replete with a backrack exploding with feathers and jade ornaments. He is also wearing a “hat” exploding with more feathers and jade.

 

 

He is old, so he is dancing slowly, mostly vertically, but making very clear arcs in space. With these arcs, he is describing time, all the time he has left to dance. He is so old, but in his mind he sees the combat, all the fights he has been in, all the defeats he has suffered, and all the victories awarded him. He is dancing slowly and I wonder if he can hear me shouting—It’s okay! You can rest.

 

 

He keeps on dancing. He is so old.
