Stellar Winds of Color

RB’s challenge “Substance of things not seen” inspired many questions of how to convey and/or observe what we cannot see, let alone create a piece of art.
Then, while listening to our CD player shuffle, this song played…Colors of the Wind
You think you own whatever land you land on
Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You learn things you never knew
You never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
Or ask the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once never wonder what they’re worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
And the heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle in a hoop that never ends
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?
or let the eagle tell you where hes been
can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
can you paint with all the colors of the wind
can you paint with all the colors of the wind
How high does the sycamore grow
If you cut it down, then you’ll never know
And you’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper – skinned
We just sing with all the voices of the mountain
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the earth and still
All you’ll own is earth until
You can paint with all colors of the wind.

Not leaving well enough alone, I ventured into googling and found an amazing photograph (hven.swarthmore.edu) of a Wind Bubble and began searching more of the Stellar Winds ~ this all seemed to fit, so I sketched a female figure being blown by the wind and layered it atop the Wind Bubble, editing a little more with the Redfield fractilius plug-in to bring the force of the wind alive with evidence of its power, though unseen…

    Have you ever heard the trees talk to each other….. I have
    Have you ever listened to the clouds
    move through the sky….I have
    Have you ever really listened to the sound that a leaf makes, when it lands on frost…. I have
    Have you ever heard the whistle that two stems of grass make, when they rub up against each other… I have
    Have you ever taken the time to feel the earth when
    you are crying…. I have
    But most of all, have you heard the love for someone close..
    I mean really heard the noise from your heart…... I have.
    You see, only those that want to hear will appreciate what I am talking about.

    Winds is everythng..
    and yes..
    i can feel the colour of the whing.
    And hear the laughing and moaning of his voice…
    render the ability of the ray suns,for creating worlds of shadows..
    any time.. that a creature is blocking his own energy.
    Perfect timing…
    and perfect purple haze…
    the woman is a soul o paradise..
    which has not beel lost.
    For in paradises…
    there is not a gain or loosing..
    of the real Essence.
