Artist's Comments

"For the world and time are the dance of the Lord in emptiness. The silence of the spheres is the music of a wedding feast. The more we persist in misunderstanding the phenomena of life, the more we analyze them out into strange finalities and complex purposes of our own, the more we involve ourselves in sadness, absurdity and despair. But it does not matter much, because no despair of ours can alter the reality of things; or stain the joy of the cosmic dance which is always there. Indeed, we are in the midst of it, and it is in the midst of us, for it beats in our very blood, whether we want it to or not.

"Yet the fact remains that we are invited to forget ourselves on purpose, cast our awful solemnity to the winds and join in the general dance."

Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation

Is this a reflection? I can't quite sort out how you shot this, but it sure looks cool.

Josh,
It's shot up through the leaves toward the sun. I think the swirl is from the sun shimmering on the out-of-focus leaves. There was a bit of a breeze, too, so there is some motion in the mix.
