Blaze in the trees Blaze on the brow. Incidents, spontaneity and presence circle wildly in the natural world. In the deep woods the elements nod and sweep and seem to signal to each other. Incidents occur. Spontaneity. Foreground and background. Shifting perspectives. A vast scattered array pulls together and with it ideas of trees, wind, sun, and relationships.

Filmed on a return visit to the Asháninka in the tropical forest of eastern Peru. Moving in close to people who still live with the land, cook over fires and raise their children in the forest. Earth, river, animals, weather. Forces of turmoil and of nature. Forces that surround the senses at all times.
