She Oak Peace Grove – Black Madonna
Deep in the Murmuring Woods is a grove of Sheoaks. These trees provide peaceful shelter and are wise beyond normal knowing…they invite folk to gather in their velvet dark cloaks and hide if they wish to. And their wisdom is always shared, if you care to stop for a while in the grove…

Mystery of Mysteries – Poetry
O Sweet – e e cummings
O sweet spontaneous
earth how often have
the
doting
fingers of
prurient philosophers pinched
and
poked
thee, has the naughty thumb
of science prodded
thy
beauty, how
often have religions taken
thee upon their scraggy knees
squeezing and
buffeting thee that thou mightest conceive
gods
(but
true
to the incomparable
couch of death thy
rhythmic
lover
thou answerest
them only with
spring)

Peace Flag Flying – She Oak Grove
Light Through She Oak Grove
(copyright images Imogen Crest 2007.)
These photographs and the verse are nothing short of extraordinary Monika. I am in awe that such a flag is flying near you. We should begin a movement to have them fly all over the world.
I agree, Heather. Extraordinary.
I love e.e. cummings. That was an inspiring pairing of images and words.
Great, Karen ;-)
