Earth Pathways Showcase

Its power is that its existence is a complete paradox. The emotional element of water defying all natural tendencies so as to commune with the ethereal element of air. With no defined boundary of where one element begins or merges. Fog is non-distinct, yet its presence undeniable. A moist veil that is so dense it yearns to sink towards the earth. Yet it is so light it remains suspended in nothingness. It’s not solid, yet its opacity can feel impenetrable. You can’t touch or grasp it, yet its aqueous arms will be embracing you. It blindfolds you, keeping the bigger picture hidden, whilst offering you a magnifying glass into the immediate ambiguity, the mystery and the hidden secrets of stories of long ago … if you are willing to pick up the gauntlet. And so I accept the invitation from the fog and yield to the unconditional silence.
