passing the test of

kindness won't ever

The composition features a dramatic flock of cranes in flight, rendered through masterful yuzen painting techniques that capture both the individual grace of each bird and their collective movement across the garment's lower register. Early Showa (1926-1940), Japan

We are thought,
And accident,
Stardust and sinew,
Poems and silence,
Travellers in a story,
Writers of fate,
Urgent and mindful,
Lost and looking,
We are a sum,
Made of history,
Finding our way,
Wanting connection,
A hand to hold,
When the words fail.

Display Case
Penned for oneself alone,
Now shared with everyone known,
A display overblown.
Journal feared prying look,
The feed fears silent nook,
Absence is the sole book.

“Light Melts Ice”, 24x24. Acrylic on canvas. Trying to express reactions to our current state of affairs. I want to be hopeful yet very aware of where we are. These are crude and I will probably continue on this after it dries. But it felt good to let anger and outrage flow.

Happy #NationalHedgehogDay 🥺
This little Egyptian faience model of a hedgehog is from a tomb at Abydos, and was made around 1,500–1,300 BCE.
Hedgehogs had a favourable reputation in ancient Egypt, and were often seen as a symbol of rebirth and renewal of life.

As roots entwine
beneath the oak unseen,
And life ascends
where two trunks fuse as one,
So soul meets soul
in spaces in between
Where otherworldly logic
joins the moon and sun.

So love’s soft story proves that Death is Life become.

The remains of a geometric mosaic from Roman Cirencester. It was discovered in 1947 in Victoria Road, and possibly dates to the 2nd century AD. The mosaic is on display at the Corinium Museum in Cirencester. 📷 My own. #MosaicMonday #RomanBritain #Cirencester

He couldn’t be found because he was never lost. He was an unmade path. A song at the edge that you could hum but never put words to. He was a sigh at the end of a long day. A familiar book that gathers dust but always knows that it is loved. He was never a question.
