Yesterday I wrote about Jini Reddy's book, Wanderland and, in particular, how synchronicities form part of her search for magic in the landscape.
Turning to the book after posting that blog, I experienced another one. Having written about bringing together the human and the land, I read about Jinny's visit to the Ash Dome, a tree sculpture by David Nash in North Wales. She describes it as follows: "Ash Dome is a kind of shaman tree, a liminal space between two worlds: the world of physical nature and the world of man".
There are various trails I could run off on from that quotation, but, for now, I just want to acknowlege that simple symbolism of how the human and the land can intertwine, like the branches of the trees in the image. The image I have used is of the Ash Dome and is taken from part of the BBC website to illustrate a Radio 3 programme in which David Nash shared his sense of inspiration.
