reflective rantings

I have just watched the film 'Picnic at Hanging Rock' (Weir, P. 1975). To me it captured an essence, a pure feeling or longing that I have been trying to articulate in my work and felt in life. The inbetween. Our connection with the land, the essence of the earth. That maybe its not black and white, maybe we don’t understand or admit but we have moments of clarity of knowing understanding and connecting. Humanity is not a separate entity. I thought in 'third time luckylusting' I was exploring this notion, but that it was almost an imaginary place- or at least I had to say that it was as this is what is acceptable. This is what we know to be true and scientific. But place doesn't have to be a physical space that we see, place is a time we experience, a feeling deep within. Animalistic. In the film the characters try to rationalise events not accept them. Visually the film had moments so similar to my time in Dartmoor and the sea, it was bizarre as I watched the girls disappear between the rocks as I did on Dartmoor and the rocks so similar to the landscape I know. The girl's almost sexual yearning, seduced by nature, willingly entering it. I wonder if there is a place we belong to where we can return to this inbetween. Was it a connection I had with Dartmoor that made me feel this way or the power of being out in the wild- can you belong to and 'return' anywhere, does everywhere have this power of rebirth. And the sea dose this draw us in because of its power to carry you away, is it a vessel to the inbetween because of its liquidity. Did I read the film like this, or is this how it was meant to be read. Why does the sun make you want to sink into the ground, the rocks make you disappear between and the sea swallow you. And what about fire, its fix on us and replacement by the screen. Other elements we enter into, fire we watch waiting to be told listening, is this why it was replaced by TV. And what if the TV were to show what we felt for the land. Why did the girls in the film succeed or did they only succeed in cinema. Maybe it is not possible but just a desire.
