The Lines That Hold Us
The path of life comes in many lines
Some are curved and weep behind.

Others stand tall with lots of might.
They even guide us in the night.

We use these lines for passing through
Or as a home for an owl to “who”

They climb up high or grow below.
They even drip and splash and glow.
​
The path of life comes in many lines
They prove the limitlessness of Earth’s designs.

Creative Notes: This film is in response to the observance of the mysterious patterns and fractals found in nature. It is presented in a way that gives the viewer time to observe the many dimensions of lines that exist in nature; when looking closely. I wanted it to feel like the viewer was watching a home movie from a 35mm projector; hopefully evoking feelings of nostalgia and comfort.

Sometimes we form the lines; like creating a path in the snow, but other times they form to us; like the vine climbing up the wall. They can be a sign of growth or just a means of passage. Other times they result in a burst of passing energy like the icicle created from the icy snow. These are the lines that hold us.
