Poetry Friday: Sand Art
Thanks to Kathleen Duey for pointing out this amazing and unique artist from the Ukraine. At eight minutes, the video is a bit long by today’s short-attention-span standards, but commit to watching the whole thing. You won’t regret it.
Okay, it’s not a poem, but I can’t say that it’s not poetry. You’ll find the real stuff at today’s Poetry Friday, hosted by A Wrung Sponge.
Amazing! You were right about committing to watching the whole thing. You don't really get it if you just watch her make the first picture. You have to see her transitions. Thanks for sharing.
It's weird, because part of me wants to sit and say, "Oh, COOL!" but -- the rest of me is tearing up (because I am the dork that cries when other people cry). If I could understand the language, I'd understand a little more of the power -- yet, the story of war is always the same, isn't it? Love, loss, partings, dreams, and hopes for tomorrow.
