And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: ‘Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.

Forest and Fungi

This is the first video that inspired me to explore the use of mushrooms to reverse some of the damage that we as a species have inflicted on our collective home – the biosphere of planet Earth.

Fool.

The steady burn I yearned for once, seems dim.

Like a candle flickers, holding on to it’s last breath

I wonder where it came from, this draft.

Feeling unsteady

I see a fugitive running, trying to escape the undeniable fate that awaits him.

What a waste of time this is. 

More life, more lonely nights

I think.

Hunched under a floorboard of an abandoned house

He rests.
