A Naturally Inspired, Free flow sensory lyrical, spokenword video by VEL production by Vanessa Leanage

🦋🕊️🧚‍♀️ I intended to schedule this to upload tomorrow but for some reason, it won’t allow me to do that so the date on the video will show June 30, 2024. 🌿💫

” Within the Stream” is a free flow piece. I’ve been making slowly since the snow melted in Ontario Canada and spring returned. I went for a walk; one of my last love walks to a beautiful stream that was full and flowing as crows followed me squawking beautifully in their amazingly intelligent language. I was looking for springs edible ferns call, fiddleheads. . As i stood watching, a large raccoon was washing food in the stream. They, very slowly, climbed up the bank of the river and made their way along the pathway that I too had just taken— one that winds in a natural flow within the forest, between the trees, for centuries inside the beautifully balanced ecosystems of old and new and middle-aged trees and other magical beings.
I found remnants of an old building and spent a little time daydreaming about the people who lived in this beautiful area that has now become a park in a city. I dreamt/envisioned another time and place when I lived along the riverbank in the forest. It’s my favourite place to live; Under a canopies of trees, listening to the wind below their branches and leaves and hearing the ocean or lake or stream flowing inside earth. I’ve been lucky to live my dream for a short time and I know I will again. #💚

🦋 Vanessa has been writing on “X” [Twitter ] since 2013. Meeting great friends and fellow writers and poets, inspired her to expand onto other platforms where she has created variety of pieces including vocals, videos, spokenwords, poetry and music.
🦋She was taught to read and write by family, already speaking poetically by the age of two. Later in life her haiku and tanka poetry has been published multiple times, most recently in 5 anthologies and online.
🦋Vanessa has demonstrated continued flexibility through perseverance and by utilizing her creativity to discover new ways to create, explore, learn and grow despite physical barriers that continue to add up over the years as a result of multiple traumas during her childhood. Our vessel is a miraculous life form. My physical Injuries didn’t reveal themselves until much later in life when I was working hard towards my goals.
🦋Vanessa’s connection to God, the divine, the creator, the unknown, her spirituality and Nature [one] grew significantly through her decision following every tragedy and injustice to remain true to herself, no matter what the consequences. “ it’s been a solitary journey. I’ve been blessed with many miracles. I’ve been blessed in equal measure to balance it all out .” From childhood until recently when her health has turned, Vanessa has been a strong advocate for all beings in every way possible. 🌟💖🌿

“ Authenticity is a human right.” V.L

🦋Despite ALL odds, Vanessa inspires others with her light, advocacy, powerful energy, sharing stories of resilience, determination & demonstrated love for all beings. She continues to find joy and beauty, especially through animals and nature, as well as some very beautiful and enduring friendships that withstood too many moves!
🦋Vanessa landscapes, nature, animals, pets and architectural building paintings have hung in many galleries, museums as well Vanessa painted live during festivals so people could watch the process— a challenge she courageously took on as an introvert. Her first attempt at making a sculpture proved not only fun but also was awarded . it was chosen out of thousands of entries —seven counties wide, to be included in the McLaren art galleries colour exhibition in 2005. it was only one of two sculptures and one of 60 pieces excepted by the gallery in Ontario.
🦋She was a photographer, papermaker, sculpture ,printer, and a Goldsmith— this made up the main part of her educational studies with the dash of psychology & counselling training. Vanessa‘s love and strong aptitide for medicine, spirituality, and psychology never left her. Every day, she studies them as a hobby.
