RISE UP

Autumn in the Weald by Philip Dodson
RISE UP

Like a fire the leaves rise swirling like flames
The wind catches them like sails at sea
The swirl of colour as they leap their final dance
The breath of change is upon us all
Autumn is here we are approaching the cold

Warm our hearts with the rising that nature brings
Warm our hearts with the beauty of it all
Warm our hearts with what we have already
Warm our hearts with the connection to mother nature
Warm our hearts and dance with leaves

The fire of autumn will die as winter comes
Don't wait for what might be
Rise up now with the wind
Like a phoenix from the ashes
One last dance, one last hurrah, one last leap
Don't wait for winter...rise up now and dance

Painting at night

There are many choices in life and there are no right or wrong answers, as apart from when it hurts others, the choices we make and what that outcome looks like to us, is all that matters.

We often think far too much about what are going to do or not. Whether to create something or not. Whether to share something with others, or to leave it uncreated.

Last night at midnight, we drove up a track to a view point in the middle of nowhere in Fuerteventura Spain, and we choose to create different effects night painting using luminous juggling balls and long exposure photography.

The results were amazing, and when it was my turn, I decided to create a happy face, to reflect upon one of the best choices I’ve made in a long time, to come to this coworking camp in Fuerteventura organised by Copass.

Often in my life I have said ‘I’ll do that next time, when I’m less busy’ or some other excuse, as ‘less busy’ is an excuse and it never happens.

Choose night painting, choose happiness and share your creations.
