Dappled Things 004
6 months ago
Fourth in an ongoing video series attempting to find divinity in the mundane. Name comes from a poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins.
Inspiration: Birds often find there way to my backyard. I can never get a good shot. They fly away when I open my back door. Every once in a while I'll notice them on the telephone lines out front. After chasing them around for an hour or so I collected enough footage for this video. The song lyrics seem applicable; "Where do you hide? Where do you go? Why are you running from me?
And why do you fear when you know I am near to Thee
Someone come."
Music: "The Great Love Story" by Jimmy Needham
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Glory be to God for dappled things -
For skies of couple-colour as a brindled cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced - fold, fallow, and plough;
And all trades, their gear and tackle trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.
- Gerard Manley Hopkins
