Surfers Soul video is from Cold Mountain film series 2023 exploring various human relationships with environment. The title, Cold Mountain, is attributed to a legendary Tang era (618–907) recluse’s poetry. Two crazy hermits giggling and pointing at the moon are repeated in Asian painting, referring to the Daoist sage-hobo poet and his friend living in nature. Poet Gary Snyder’s 1950’s translations of selected Cold Mountain poems, and characterisation of the hermit, are depicted in Jack Kerouac’s novel, The Dharma Bums 1958. The end of the first video, Hunters Heart, ends with the line ‘clouds like fish scales,’ that leads into Surfers Soul, the second video. To the surfer and hunter, these clouds indicate good weather and waves, an understanding of nature, and enlightened relationship in conversation with environment. “Who can sit with me among white clouds?”
