TumbleWorld: Third RE-Form Church

A darker turn into the mystical night. We tend to think of darkness as evil, but it's from the darkness that light emerges and to which it surrenders itself again.

 

Yin to the previous Yang, the Dark Blue-Green Feminine emerges as the voice of the darkness, the deep, the receptive, the Mother of all things. Light, of course is present, emerging too, but night is the time of the Feminine.

 

The RE-forming of the church is a creation process, not a destruction. Scanning left to right across the image you can almost feel the shifting and hear the creaking and moaning of stone and wood as the church reconfigures its reality. Light seems to be coming from inside as well as out. This is no inert structure. It's alive and dynamic.

Music Link: "The Rising of the Moon", Dead Can Dance. This track is not ( yet ) on any of Dead Can Dance's albums but it's quite common for this utterly unique duo ( Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard ) to perform music that they've written but haven't put down on record.

 

Here is Lisa Gerrard in one of her solo moments. If you've never heard her sing her voice is something that can raise the hair on the back of your neck and send electricity roaring through your nervous system - in a thrilling, breathtaking way. She has an incredible range from a very deep alto, right on up to an extremely high and crystalline soprano. When she sings, I've always maintained, it's as if something beyond this world comes in through her. Whatever that might mean, seeing her sing live is an experience like no other. Since this image evokes the spiritual Feminine I thought who else to choose for music other than Lisa Gerrard?
