Revealing
You always find something fresh, new and revealing on a walk
especially when it is outdoors as opposed to walking on the basement
treadmill. Because of the ever-changing
nature of nature itself, whether it be weather or just the wear-and-tear that
occurs from aging, each season unfolds a new growth and new death. It’s never the same.
At the Brickworks, a repurposing space had begun when an old
brick could have been
demolished. Some wise
and sensitive people decided that the quarry, untouched for years, had value.
Nick, Mandala and I roamed the grounds that were
reintroduced to indigenous vegetation.
At one appealing spot at the bottom of the dug-out area an aesthetic
blend of colour captured our eyes, with green algae water in the pond
reflecting snow-cycles under a fallen, haunting tree, which held by its roots a
massive clump of dirt.
At the quarry’s north cliff an ancient beaver skull was more
recently found, its size being like that of a black bear, a relic left from the
former ice age.
Every time I come here it’s a new face and there’s new
information of a world worth viewing and reviewing. Walking through the features of nature always
fascinates and leaves you feeling reincarnated like nothing that our concrete
jungle can provide.
May the Source be with you!
