Slow tv at it’s finest. Sunrise at the ring of Brodgar on the Solstice two years ago.
Swans at Brodgar
Circles everywhere. Everything that sets out must complete a journey. What appears to us voyagers a tangle, random blunderings, Is seen, angel-vantaged, as certain as the star wheel or the journey from a root that ends in the June rose. The seed, the bequest, will quicken again under snow. Circles compel us everywhere, Sun and stone and bird-flight. Ancient wisdom knew the law of circles, Instructing the quarrymen and masons of Brodgar In the purity and inevitability of stone-setting. And the great white birds Caught in a random circle of repose Will rise again to the blood’s curve and thrust.
