I loved the skecth, it's my favorite of all...
I wonder if bird nest in between your toes, do tree branches and leaves have to grow first? so do you become the soil, an extended part of the sediments of the cliff?

thank you, bh..........the drawings are changing. i am having fun with them!

a very good question about the nest............does it comes from me, do i birth it, plant it.......grow it........all the while clinging to the edge of the cliff?

and if i do that, what indeed is the bird?

Maybe bird is a foreign object, someone who enters your world of nature..may be a friend?

anne artist said...

yes, maybe the bird represents another person. someone who builds nests and sings songs and does not focus on the cliff but on flying.........

i wonder if we do not all benefit from the birds in our lives.

thank you, bh, for your insights.

Very interesting ...this question slumps me flat :)...but the comments of both you and bh ...enlightens ....if you cling to the edge of a cliff, are you afraid ?? if you are will you then be able let the bird nest in between your toes ?? will the bird brings further burdens to you??Or will the bird who nests between your toes teach you to be like itself,to fly....and taught you not to cling to the edge of a cliff ??

anne artist said...

yes, s.a., what kind of bird is it? is it even impacted by your fear as you cling to the edge of the cliff?

it chooses to build a nest in between your toes...and you are in what seems to you to be a precarious position.

if you focused on the bird and its nest, what would happen then?

Sally Ang said...

Will it be impacted by your fear ??Or will the bird trust in that feet of yours ....if you focus on that bird and that nest, will it not teach you how to fly off that cliff, and start that flight of faith onto that what is install before you ??

anne artist said...

or maybe i would focus on the nest. on the twigs and fall from the cliff. landing in the upper branches of a tree..........

there to find myself staring into a bird's nest. eggs ready to hatch...........
