chaturanghing montreal

chaturanghing
as, with, in,
on montreal. on mont-royal.
intimacy with stones. a stone ledge overlooking the trance dance tamtam late pm sunday pow wow.



















bowing to what comes.
always in motion. gratitude not a fixed thing.  
spanda: the pulsation divine.


















kissing beloved gaïa.
even in her stiff asphalt garment she is FULL support pour toutes nos folies.
all our postures and positionings, composures and compostings. arrogance and melt downs. shames, glories and redemptions.



















heels over head.
enjoying the change of outlook.
not knowing what's to come next. tik hai.

terrés au fond du garde-robe
dans le coin coin de la tablette d'en haut
classés en ordre chronologique

des négatifs 35mm et planches contact
en perte de contraste
maintenant ré-exposées
à la lumière du jour

mountain top reforestation ltd 
treeplanting, fort nelson, northern bc
a strange underworld in the nineteen hundreds where

first load, chopper, bagging up, highballers and rookies, [smoking, eating, sleeping or hiding at] the cash, crème, crémer, se faire crémer, shannon motel, liard hotsprings, campcosts, day off, "le reefer est en retard", "just one more shift"...

really meant something...























 

who says country living




 who says country living 


should be boring? 


is it a place where wild ones red necks simple hearts mingle? those not intimidated by snow removal contracts, fullspectrum buglife and vanishing anonymity? 
with a quiet murmur of frog songs inside their chest and eyes that can rest into the horizon?
