I’ve been out filling up the bird feeders this morning. This little fella came visiting, watched me the whole time, and let me get within 2 metres with my camera to take his (or her) portrait. What a joy.

My first painting. I was beginning to see my own conditioning, how deep the pattern runs throughout society and history, and the role capitalism, greed, and corruption play.

The red and black represent our collective anger and pain, but the gold is what we’re going to do with it.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
