3 pieces from STONE SONG, a soundpoem [on tr. of Gerrit Achterberg] Three new translations of miniature masterpieces by the Dutch poet, Gerrit Achterberg...all sung to lost beloved.....all with a remarkable sotto voce depth of feeling........

#musicsky STONE SONG, a soundpoem [on tr. Gerrit Achterberg], soundcloud.com/cliff-crego/...

Words going backwards
are on their way to you:
so that you may hear
your ears are gone.

Sentences inside out
because your knowing is gone.
Song to surround you
stone against stone.

YouTube video by Glenn Diesen Ted Postol: Fraud of Missile Defence Exposed in Iran War

🔥 ESSENTIAL BACKGROUND 🙏 World-leading expert, the ever-humble MIT Professor & Pentagon advisor Ted Postol explains w/ great clarity why the Israeli & US missile defence systems are failing--necessarily & catastrophically--in the war against #Iran www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbQI...

Golden Corridor Pepe Escobar travels to Iran to study the North-South Corridor.

The WEST ASIAN Corridor the Epstein Zionist Class doesn’t want to know about… #PepeEscobar www.presstv.ir/doc/Detail/2...

How confused the ways we wander
once truth is lost.

How needless the wars.
How mindless the waste.

WHAT'S A WEED?

A species of movement that
feeds on CHAOS &
roots in IMBALANCE.
The idea of a war on weeds'
is itself a weed.

Learn the speak #Whitebarkpine!
They’re the polar bear of trees.
A HOTTER DRIER climate is pushing
them UP & OFF the mountain 🌲

NATURAL BEAUTY is beauty
unaware of itself, humble
persistent in its growth
and deeply rooted
were it stands

#phenology Western Groundsel (Senecio integerrimus ‘untouched, whole, entire’) ripening seed in June mountain sun at 1300m.

IN #OREGON we have “lazy boy” ranching:
GAUGE PLANT was used in the past as a sign—
when it bolted—to move the COWS Up. Now, no
one would even recognize it!

WALKING THE WORLD: Above Timberline…a prose poem…. WALKING THE WORLD: Above Treeline...a prose poem... This is the movement of the alpine tundra, of presences which are only seemingly motionless. With the glaciers above and the forest below, I walk

“Stopping suddenly, a few steps
away, a cluster of granite rocks takes
to the air. "Ah, ptarmigan, seven
of them," I think to myself.”

In the #WALLOWAS #EagleCapWilderness, when your

full rounded form, upward turning branches. Contrasts
sharply w/ more narrow Spruce & Fir. Upclose,
look for bundles 5-needles.

FORM emerges out of MOVEMENT;
It’s the outward envelop of the rhythmic PULSE
of CHANGE.

IMAGINE the top leaf edge, from

IMAGINE this as form emerging out

The IMNAHA is 80km of spectacular free-flowing river;
It originate above 2500m below CUSSICK MT

It’s perhaps the Eagle Cap‘s best chance
for salmon recovery… . .
