When Fern and Spirits Intersect

(I wonder why hiking never tear me down, but has me murmuring instead).


Episode 1

A reincarnation is in embryo while taking in the essence of morning light. The fern is unfolding. There will not be any shaking of the Earth, or cracking of the sky.

Tokun Hill will be as quiet as now. Reincarnation is a silent simplicity that happens now and then.

What can I see through the center of the "coil of fortune"?


Episode 2

Are the silky threads holding the fern, or is the fern providing the webs a foot-hold?

We are not Independent, somehow or other.

  1. The silky threads move in unison with the fern to decide its fate.

  4. I'll try not to read into anything (lol)..pretty tired after a long trip around the island. Your ferns are exotic looking..something we have in common. We murmur (I catch myself as well)-and webs are spun like tales..if we could remember,maybe we could break the cycle..
