Dance of the cranes, sumi-e art by Sebastiaan van der Greef

Dance of the cranes

Cranes dance in winter light
symbols of peace,
of long life,
of hearts moving as one.
May their grace guide us.

Creation, sumi-e art by Sebastiaan van der Greef

Creation

what was always here,
revealed.

A silent bang.
The universe breathes out.

Seed of joy.
The crane takes flight.
