Air 01:55
Gasp In golden light Grip At crisp blue air Grasp Your place in rich soil Materialize Outward Reach for light
2.
Voice 05:33
As you sprout Realize There are others As you grow Entangle With their voices Their sound into yours and back Tethering To eachother And as you reach For light - Hear the voices Of those no longer here Feel their stories Given from other voices Push you Closer to light It is confusing Maximalist web That you did not choose to participate in. Everything before breath was easier. Focus on your own Small voice

Pulse 05:36

String 06:08
But reach for light Reach towards light as petals fall from surrounding Blossoms Reach to open sky Where crystals explode in flowering light And feel Presence Tethered to self No longer Solitary Feel presence Of another - grasping at petals as they sway gentle to earth Of family of a friend Maybe Of someone you love. Feel the stalk push and escalate Colors dancing Purpose entangled Will full of entanglement For whom You will still Blossom But now For whom Reach for light m Grasp Sunday's and pull Ascend Flower of apotheosis <Blossom>

Bloom 09:30
But still Still Reach for light Baptized in open sky The flower is blossoming The self is entangling The self is pulled by those wishing to see its petals - the self tethered to their hands Spin - spin into the swirl of colors And faces of those you know within it Entangled in dancing petals Or faces - or hearts - of those Blossoming near you Tethering to your roots As light crashes around you But still spin/reach/tether/entangle But still Blossom

29'

Blossom is a work in five parts exploring the entanglement of the individual to the network of people we all inevitably become a part of. I view the process of blooming as slightly violent: a breaking apart of a closed bud - an explosion leading to the exposure of beauty within, like an open flesh wound. As we tether and entangle with those around us throughout childhood and life, their expectations and our shared experiences push and pull upon us. Eventually we have to realize: we're going to blossom, but for whom? Do we bloom for ourselves, in spite of everyone we are connected to? Or do we accept their help in pulling us into bloom, blossoming for the community we are engaged with - and future communities we will engage with?
