tree mandalas

making and contemplating tree mandalas keeps me for uncountable hours. there seem to be all sorts of creatures in there. i am wondering how to coax these creatures from these static images into animations. i'm not sure how much detail will show in these reduce quality images, but if you look closely, the little details where the small branches come together are just amazing. the quality of the shapes and patterns are so original and purposeful.

a highly scientific explanation of the occurance of shell fossils found in mountain regions

Act I
Ocean clothed Land for inches and miles
brachiopods (Ancestors) lounge languorous
Death gifts portals for Spirit;
lingering, shells remain.

Act II
sand sifts shells on ocean floor
on sand lay sand like lovers lie
the weight of generations press history like pages
down. pack tight,
sand turns Stone
suspending shells within.

Act III
plate techtonics bear mountains like fruit:
floors become peaks as inward turns out
Ocean sleeps deeply hushed to ice.

Act IV
awake!
stretching groaning glaciers crackle and crumble
picking sleep from eyes, ice tumbles
Mountain's first breath out of watery womb.

Act V
and ice:
melting
relaxing
receeding
to Ocean River Stream,
carry mountain tops to pebbles rocks and stones
within these morsels of mountain (once ocean floor):
bones of brachiopods (Ancestors) gracefully poised.
