“A longing to wander tears my heart, when I ear trees rustling in the wind at evening”
“Veins of Life” is a poetic adaptation of a passage from Hermann Hesse’s Bäume: Betrachtungen und Gedichte (Trees: Reflections and Poems) that celebrates life and nature. At the center of the story is Sayuri, who yearns to reconnect with her inner self. This longing brings her back to the forest of her childhood memories and dreams.
On a sunny day in December the ElephantTribe crew went to visit Skid Row, Downtown Los Angeles, where Aaron Clark, a homeless veteran that lives in a tent on Omar street, chose the tribe to share his dream.
Sometimes with
the bones of the black
sticks left when the fire
has gone out
someone has written
something new
in the ashes of your life.
You are not leaving.
Even as the light fades quickly now,
you are arriving.
David Whyte
from “The Journey”
Sometimes it takes
a great sky
to find that
first, bright
and indescribable
wedge of freedom
in your own heart.
David Whyte

“One day”
One day
you’re alive and well
Sun is shinning
Moon is rising
all is well
you
you, your family, your friends
the world
When it comes
you ask – why me?
Darkness
Sadness
Uncertainty
A new journey has begun
A hero’s journey
and you’ll be the hero
You’ll be fine
Happy again
