We have been seeing faces in trees for a long time. This one in the photograph was created by the growth of the Yew tree. The natural growth remained hidden from view as part of the tree trunk. It was only available to be seen after a chainsaw had cut an uneven and textured plane through the trunk of the tree. Pareidolia is the name for the psychological phenomenon that gives rise to people seeing patterns in random stimulus. Faces in trees have been linked to what the roots are growing in, the shoots reveal what the roots find in the dark recesses of the soil. This has led to ideas of trees forming a face of the spirit of the place, or even revealing the presence of hidden remains so that the shoots show what was secreted away. The presence of faces on tree burial sites for humans will be a great connection for some who wish to see their loved ones in the trees. This Yew held on to the face hidden in the trunk until it was deemed to be blocking a path.

IAO, consist of three Greek letters Iota, Alpha and Omega. IAO is noted as a Gnostic god form, seen as both a Sun God and a Mystery God. The primary universal nature and use of IAO led to it being later identified with the Hebrew Tetragrammaton of IHVH formed by the letters Yod Heh Vau Heh which is well known as Jehovah and Yahweh. Both IAO and IHVH are used as formulae to explore and explain all natural creation. IAO to me can be a spoken key of threefold introduction to a journey into everything and nothing where all is possible.

The character of Pan has been built around his name meaning All. His connection to all gives him access to the ecosystem as greeter, guide and guardian of the groves in which he is often found and again through his All he is found wherever you happen to look for him, to call him and he is there even when you attempt to ignore him. A call to IAO and Pan is to issue a note and to create an invitation for the natural aspects to hear, to absorb and to respond as they see fit. The scientist can record the echo and those in meditation may hear answers to an unasked questions that they had not realised were in the IAO Pan even as they enunciated it. We are great creatures and we can choose to adore great gods. If we ask nothing from everything our own reflective nature will allow us time and space to hear what we want and then to listen further in search of what we need to an understanding of what we have and how best to fulfil our self with All.

Pneuma and Exudation releasing spirit and soul leaving the body less whole

The body takes in inspiration and sustenance. The body gives off reflection and the body release spirit and soul as we connect with the everything that makes us whole. Not by any known universal measure do we deliver and receive pleasure. Take note of the breath and give voice to song to acknowledge the truth where we belong. To some, happy laughter is living and sad crying is dying. To some, there is a focus on the rhythm of heart and lung to reach out and extend the length, breadth and depth of pulse, beat and breath they will have sung a refrain again and again to failingly embrace all that they have freely, or jealously clung.

The initially window in front of the lens held my perspiration and that was transforming the image. Light was giving strange penumbra to the moisture and individual spheres were forming and growing out of the cloudy layer making new demi spheres and building up exiting ones. To add to the moist expression on the pane I issued breath and watched the two forms of moisture make a pattern that would bring excellent diffusion of light through moisture which would create great photographic images for me. The initial heat in me was creating a very temporary transformation through which I was able to photograph the much more stable world outside the window. The tree in the images shows that in the much more fixed scene outside there is growth with young green shoots and leafs. There is the yearly seasonal cycle that will soon bring the onset of Autumn the time of year when this tree will shed leafs and they will go through a colour change as they end their connection with the tree. The leafs will shortly begin turning from supple vibrant green through to brittle brown. The stark branches of the tree with survive through Winter and in spring they will be the frame that holds the new fresh green leaf growth building up the image of the seemingly Summer stable blossoming boughs. From perspiration changing the view through the window pane the image itself called for breath and certain thoughts of transition began, they continued to keep developing and fortunately they have not stopped.
