~ The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessing ~ exquisite short film made from archive 16mm footage shot in Palestine in the 1930s & 1940s ~ by theos_perspective ~ @bafta nominated “When a Palestinian filmmaker based in Scotland unearths a rarely-seen Scottish film archive of Palestinian wild flowers, he decides to reclaim the footage. This tender film essay questions the role of image-making as a tool of both testimony and violence when connected to entanglements between people and the land.”

It’s been two years since the passing of dear Vivienne Isabel 🔔 Westwood ~ here are some quotes from @gene.krell & @ndreaskronthaler I shared at that time ~ 🔔 may they ring bells for you, as they have for me, for the calling of truth, love, nature and the Tao ~ 🗝️ Lao Tzu (author of the Tao Te Ching)~ “Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” “Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.” “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” “From wonder into wonder existence opens.” “The world is won by those who let it go.”
