The Green Man
What is it that can capture a heart and take it to a peaceful awareness instantly? Many say, "A WALKING TREE MAN". The crowd is stunned. People, begin moving more slowly, breathing deeply. They seem to drop into that meditative state where we’re connected with the true reality of life. The walking body of a tree with the mask of a man is an image that can only inspire awe in the hearts and minds of those who see view it. This archetype, of ancient origins signifies rebirth, renewal, and life, is the image of the GREEN MAN He symbolizes our ineffable connection with Mother Nature. Sometimes it’s the kids who see what’s going on first. Then that brings on a frenzy of photo snapping and comments like, “That’s the best costume I’ve seen in my life!” “Absolutely incredible!” “Wow!” “Amazing!” What most don’t see at first is that it’s a 12 foot tall, stilt-walking, 3-dimensional sculpture of a living, mobile and animated TREE MAN / GREEN MAN. We people used to believe we belonged to the Earth and said, “We are yours.” Modern man says to nature, “You are mine.” Now, the GREEN MAN returns, so that we may all agree that, “We are all ONE!” The GREEN MAN has been walking the planet from California to Times Square, helping people wake up to our responsibility to the Earth on which we live. May we ALL find that healing. |
