here in the cold

I was abducted today. Drawn into a vast winter woodland. It was comfortably silent and daringly beautiful. Zen.



Please meet the directors of the video Karni and Saul (here in co-operation with Aardman).

white winter trees
covered in snow 
(...) heavy of heart
weary of soul
(...) you didn't understand
that my heart was in your hands

Zoë Keating shared today this absolutely stunning live performance of "Escape Artist" recorded at the ABC Radio National. She describes pretty well my attitude towards the forest and the city. That's precisely what I feel whenever I run into the woods: I can't wait to be back in the city again. And once there, then I wish to run away somewhere else almost immediately. Always in between. Zoë blends this duality unmistakably. As usual.
