All of this resonates with me, Erica. I'm struck time and again with how it is only humans determining whether or not another living being "belongs." No doubt we have sped up what might have occurred naturally, but if humans weren't also responsible for the degradation and demise of so many species, perhaps the plants and animals that move from wherever they originate to wherever they land would find their own balance with ease.
Photos are stunning, and how did you find that delightful video at the end?
"The principles of shamanism are similar, I think, where the shaman enters the unknown space and communes with the sometimes scary mirror images." Mmmhmm.
Thanks, Robert! I like it too and happy you noticed my nod to bacteria! The dissolution of self is called for in most mystic traditions but somehow I don't think the bacterial analogy would be well received!! ^--^
I love this, again awe.

This is one of your most beautiful pieces; I love it. And, it includes a nod to bacteria.
