nest: a sacred vessel
eggs: the perfect order for the promise of life
wee ones are born
then chaos begins

this week i have been working on two paintings with owls
in them
THEN i had an amazing encounter with THREE
Great Gray owls
a mother and two fledglings
it was at dusk, when they come out to hunt
so the photo is grainy:
some how i feel that all life is contained in this theme
the word 'trust' comes to mind
sometimes we can not see where all the tiny details are heading
where they all end up
perhaps chaos leads to order
or at least it can

thank you Barbara

thank you Barbara
for inspiring an interesting contemplation

Also:
a branch broke in a tree this week
it seemed like an arm offering this nest so that i could see it
previously it was hidden to my sight
previously it was hidden to my sight
such amazing 'order' in the way it is made!
grass
moss
lichen
mud
nicely glued to the branch
a sacred vessel
for the eggs and babies it held

Dear Tammie, this is a wonderful post, not only about lovely owls, but also for your reflection of the theme and I agree with you that it contains all of life. Trust would be also a interesting theme, maybe you like to be the next host?

Wise words and thoughts you're sharing, dear Tammie. And of course, I love owls, too! Rare luck to see one, much more to spot even two! And such a beautiful nest...I'm sure the owl in your drawing stands the chaos of soon-coming nursery, it looks like a character very calm and in order.
ReplyDeleteOMG Tammie! What a beautiful piece. Your owl with his lil' heart warms my heart! Yes, I too have a great love for owls, something handed down to me from my Mom! What a splendid painting! I love the texture and colours! Have a fabulous weekend! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat owl is so sweet. Love the little heart...
ReplyDeleteowls are so beautiful! many years ago we lived in a house with a great plane-tree in front of it. every autumn there were 12-14 (!) long-eared owls - it was a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteyour painting is so beautiful, love this wise old owl, your pictures and your words!
:-) mano
yes! i do believe it can lead to order, it can, and often it takes a long, long winding road, and by the time... my dear. chaos seems always to be at hand.
ReplyDeletenot deriving so from your entry! the owl is wise, and he is a prophet of order. his order... ;)))

ReplyDeleteGreat! dear Tammie! the owls, wow, fantastic photo! and sweet painting. The nest seems to be a gift for you... and you're right: there is chaos and order at the same time.
