This image I created today represents my feelings of grief in isolation.
My beautiful mother died of Covid 19 two weeks ago. My feeling of isolation are compounded by lockdown.
There is still beauty and light all around me. Like the man in the image, I am struggling to look up and connect.
I am told this will pass.
I love you Mum and miss you every moment.
No photo by this mortal could do it justice. Simple. Organic. Elegant. Shaped and smoothed with grace by Nature's primeval hand. A singular, slender, undulating blade of perfection. Burnished in millennial isolation by icy winds. Iconic. An embodiment of omniscient, eternal flow. A melody. A gift.
And now, sanctuary violated; vulnerable, fragile. A solitary finger like that of Michelangelo's Adam imploring an empty sky. No match for tempered steel. Gone in thirty seconds.
It is reasonable, even prudent, to contemplate what some Minnesota dentist would do to possess its sinuous, sensuous power; to bolt it upright to an ebony stand like a purloined stalagmite. And, access now a midnight's stroll away, what the National Park Service could do to prevent that. Perhaps a rustic wilderness sign: "Stay On Trail".
Two ridges away, the ghost of the ancient tree Prometheus, once the oldest living tree on Earth, felled for a science project, must weep.
Somewhat Inspired by the current pandemic, New Zealand is into day 4 of lockdown and it all still feels a bit surreal.
The past weekend we got snow that the weather man had said we wouldn't get. :) But we enjoyed it! I took this photo while the snow was still coming down pretty hard. I love the isolation and shape of this tree. It stands in the middle of Monacacy Battlefield where a Civil War battle took place. I almost like this solitary tree as a monument to those that died there better than the statues. Even though many died, each was a precious individual that was missed dearly by his loved ones.
Somewhere on the road between Grockleton & Royston Vasey...only joking!
Farm building near Onecote, Staffordshire, UK.
I am reliably informed (as I had no idea myself) that this is a scabious- sukkertopp in Norwegian :) ! Taken at Jordan's Mill, Bedfordshire
Isolation is a wonderful opportunity to look inside of ourselves. Who am I? Where am I now? Where should I be? What should I be doing? Why am I here at all?
That's what I try doing these days. Some answers are satisfying, some are not. I clearly see where I have to improve and what is actually wasting my time and energy.
I love going to the desert to self-isolate for a weekend. As it isn't possible at the moment, I'm doing so in my backyard. Just a bit of silence is enough to have it. I have a grasp of myself hidden behind all these masks and daily routine. .
Remember yourself
The tree at Milarrochy Bay, Loch Lomond is fast becoming the Scottish iconic shot.. I noticed yesterday that there were three versions of it in the top 100 on Explore...
