Climbing PoeTree: Hurricane Season: The Hidden Messages in Water — The brightest most beautiful torch

Hurricane Season: The Hidden Messages in Water is imperfectly-perfect:
painful, powerful, visionary. It is one of the most compelling pieces of art I have ever seen.

There is a kind of bliss that comes from ignorance and another that comes from having seen and felt with eyes and heart wide-open...and finding the bliss within the layers.

The foundation of our survival is Mother Earth. Water makes up 70% of the Earth's surface and 70% of our bodies. That is no coincidence.

There are no coincidences here — yes, everything that is happening is happening for a reason.

Climbing PoeTree have spent years calculating the meaning, distilling the purpose, planning the mission. Crafting a siren's call through their art and relentless activism; bringing the same message over and over to thousands of people...

WE ARE ALIVE RIGHT NOW FOR A REASON.

WE ARE ALIVE RIGHT NOW FOR A REASON.

Alixa and Niama have harnessed the power of their combined voices and vision into a compelling road map for issues at hand. They have taken the most pressing issues in this time of golden crisis and woven them, roots with hope into the fabric of solutions. You leave armed to the teeth with tools of your own, local connections, how-to guides, and a spirit ablaze.

THERE IS NO PLACE WHERE LOVE CANNOT FIND YOU.

THERE IS NO PLACE WHERE LOVE CANNOT FIND YOU.

This passion must become our own and Hurricane Season has become a place where one is invited to ignite, add their own light, to join in. This is a place of community, tribe; it is a place where poetry meets action and philosophy meets resolution.

Let me tell you from my own firsthand experience, creating something organic from the grassroots with intention, precision and follow-through is no small feat. It takes the conjuring of miracles, the belief in a higher self and in an urgent purpose.

"We are living in a time of unnatural disasters ya'll." The words come out of both of their mouths simultaneously and it is beautifully propelling.

Their poetry is percussive, it hammers, it bellows, it builds momentum.
It breaks you open and it finds in that openness the precious seeds of life and the power of individual and community spirit.

This performance will take you deep — far beyond being entertained.

If there is one lesson I see so clearly here, it is the fruits, the gifts, the knowledge and the joy that comes from following through. Be ready to jump into the deep end of everyday, see what is happening with a sharp eye, follow through and watch something snow ball. Hurricane Season is growing and at a rapid pace.

When I look back through the catalogue of experiences I have had while traveling the world, my journeys were always based upon documentation, which in turn has grown/solidified into the mission of creating an image bank for revolutionaries. On the tour, Sallome announced that all of my images are there for free usage to those of you working in media, visual arts, and activism — just contact me, and as long as you have a mission that I feel reflects unity, progress and peace, I am happy to share all that I have.

I felt honored and privileged to document this illuminating event in our herstory. Climbing PoeTree's work has been received by sold-out crowds and enthusiasm across this land. In fact, Alixa and Niama received the Common Folk National Award for Community Activism just a few weeks ago in Washington, D.C.

They should be supported, hailed, and inhaled in our light. Support by our action. Make time in your new year to listen to their words, get the album, and see the show when you can!

As one rises, we all rise. As we reach out our hands to each other, there is only more support, more room for letting go, more space to take flight.

I learned and grew endlessly from documenting the work of these women and the amazing group of humans they have brought together to yield a vision:
