Carry the Spirit Forth

Out among the ptarmigan we debunk our attention from everything
that crosses in the night. Suddenly the mind goes blurry and with
shifting abstraction the pixels shift to the Hyocinth MaCaw, dizzying
the mental storm, and allowing for moments of Albatross to
enter the visual field. In our sublime encounters with field-guide
aesthetics, we carry the spirit forth.
