The #artist is always the servant & is perpetually trying to pay for the gift that has been given to him as if by a miracle.
Modern man, however, does not want to make any sacrifice, even though true affirmation of the self can only be expressed in sacrifice.
—Andrei Tarkovsky, Sculpting in Time

I have no program for this seeing. It is only given.'

Revisiting this marvelous image of common grass by our house — Red muhly, aka Undaunted Ruby — and how it is transformed by the light…
May we continue to affirm light in the face of darkness & the principles we love in the face of hate.
Peace 🙏
