Ashes and Snow |
| 00:00:42 |
If you come to me at this moment |
| 00:00:45 |
Your minutes will become hours |
| 00:00:48 |
Your hours will become days |
| 00:00:53 |
And your days will become a lifetime |
| 00:11:08 |
To the Princess of the Elephants |
| 00:11:14 |
I dissapeared exactly one year ago |
| 00:11:18 |
On that day, I received a letter |
| 00:11:23 |
It called me back to the place |
| 00:11:30 |
Please forgive me for the silence between us |
| 00:11:36 |
This letter breaks that silence |
| 00:11:40 |
It marks the first of my |
| 00:11:47 |
One for each day of silence |
| 00:11:54 |
I will never be more myself, |
| 00:12:03 |
They are my maps of the bird path |
| 00:12:10 |
And they are all that I know |
| 00:15:10 |
You will remember everything |
| 00:15:21 |
In the begining of time, |
| 00:15:29 |
Every night they lay down |
| 00:15:36 |
And dreamt with one eye open |
| 00:15:41 |
When you gaze up at the stars at night |
| 00:15:45 |
You are looking into the unblinking eyes |
| 00:15:55 |
To best keep watch over us |
| 00:19:59 |
Ever since my house burnt down |
| 00:20:13 |
I gazed upon all the Edens that have fallen in me |
| 00:20:20 |
I saw Edens that I had held in my hands, |
| 00:20:26 |
I saw promises I did not keep |
| 00:20:30 |
Pains I did not sooth |
| 00:20:32 |
Wounds I did not heal |
| 00:20:35 |
Tears I did not shed |
| 00:20:39 |
I saw deaths I did not mourn |
| 00:20:42 |
Prayers I did not answer |
| 00:20:46 |
Doors I did not open |
| 00:20:51 |
Lovers I left behind |
| 00:20:56 |
And dreams I did not live |
| 00:21:01 |
I saw all that was offered to me, |
| 00:21:11 |
I saw the letters I wished for, |
| 00:21:17 |
I saw all that could have been, |
| 00:24:07 |
An elephant with his trunk raised |
| 00:24:15 |
A breaching whale is a letter |
| 00:24:21 |
These images are a letter to my dreams |
| 00:24:27 |
These letters are my letters to you |
| 00:28:21 |
My heart is like an old house, |
| 00:28:29 |
But now I hear the windows opening |
| 00:28:39 |
Sleeping on tails of manatees |
| 00:28:44 |
The songs of the bearded seals |
| 00:28:48 |
The bark of the zeebra |
| 00:28:55 |
The clicks of the sand |
| 00:28:58 |
The ears of the caracals |
| 00:29:02 |
The sway of the elephants |
| 00:29:04 |
The breaching of whales |
| 00:29:07 |
And the silhouette of the eland |
| 00:29:12 |
I remember the curl of the meerkat's toes |
| 00:29:18 |
Floating on the Ganges |
| 00:29:22 |
Sailing on the Nile |
| 00:29:26 |
Ascending the steps of ****** ***** |
| 00:29:33 |
I remember wandering through the corridors |
| 00:29:43 |
Endless seas and thousands of miles of rivers |
| 00:29:50 |
...I remember father to children... |
| 00:30:12 |
I remember everything |
| 00:30:17 |
But I do not remember ever having left |
| 00:31:06 |
remember your dreams |
| 00:31:10 |
remember your dreams |
| 00:31:16 |
remember your dreams |
| 00:31:21 |
remember |
| 00:32:01 |
The longer I watch the Savanna elephants, |
| 00:32:09 |
they remind me of who I am |
| 00:32:12 |
May the guardian elephants hear my wish |
| 00:32:19 |
I want to see through the eyes of the elephant |
| 00:32:30 |
I want to become the dance |
| 00:35:49 |
I can't tell if you are getting closer or farther away |
| 00:35:57 |
I long for the serenity I found |
| 00:36:03 |
Perhaps if your face could be returned to me now, |
| 00:36:09 |
I would find it easier to recover |
| 00:36:16 |
My own |
| 00:43:22 |
Feather to fire |
| 00:43:26 |
blood to bone |
| 00:43:28 |
marrow to ashes |
| 00:43:33 |
feather to fire |
| 00:43:36 |
blood to bone |
| 00:43:39 |
marrow to ashes |
| 00:43:43 |
feather to fire |
| 00:43:47 |
blood to bone |
| 00:43:51 |
marrow to ashes |
| 00:44:08 |
feather to fire |
| 00:44:12 |
bone to marrow |
| 00:44:24 |
feather to fire |
| 00:44:28 |
bone to marrow |
| 00:44:34 |
feather to fire |
| 00:44:38 |
blood to bone |
| 00:44:42 |
marrow to ashes |
| 00:51:34 |
The whales do not sing because they have an answer. |
| 00:51:41 |
They sing because they have a song. |
| 01:00:53 |
What matters, is not |
| 01:00:57 |
what matters, is |
| 01:01:09 |
So burn the letters |
| 01:01:12 |
At the river's edge |
| 01:01:18 |
And the river rizes |
| 01:01:23 |
And reread my letters with your eyes closed |
| 01:01:27 |
Let the words and the images |
| 01:01:34 |
Reread the letters, |
| 01:01:41 |
Listen to the songs of Eden |
| 01:01:45 |
Page, after page, after page |
| 01:01:50 |
Fly the bird path |
| 01:01:56 |
Fly |
| 01:01:59 |
Fly |
| 01:02:02 |
Fly |
