The Story of a River by Thich Nhat Hanh Born on the top of a mountain, the little spring dances her way down. The stream of water sings as she travels. She wants to go fast. She is unable to go slowly. Running, rushing, is the only way, maybe even flying. She wants to arrive. Arrive where? Arrive at the ocean. She has heard of the deep, blue, beautiful ocean. To become one with the ocean, that is what she wants. Coming down to the plains, she grows into a young river. Winding her way through the beautiful meadows, she has to slow down. ” Why can’t I run the way I could when I was a creek? I want to reach the deep, blue ocean. If I continue this slowly, how will I ever arrive there at all?” As a creek, she was not happy with what she was, she really wanted to grow into a river. But, as a river, she does not feel happy either. She cannot bear to slow down. Then, as she slows down, the young river begins to notice the beautiful clouds reflected in her water. They are of different colors and shapes floating in the sky, and they seem to be free to go anywhere they please. Wanting to be like a cloud, she begins to chase after the clouds, one after another. “I am not happy as a river. I want to be like you, or I shall suffer. Life is really not worth living”. So the river begins to play the game. She chases after clouds. She learns to laugh and cry. But the clouds do not stay in one place for very long. “They reflect themselves in my water, but then they leave. No cloud seems to be faithful. Every cloud I know has left me. No cloud has ever brought me satisfaction or happiness. I hate their betrayal.” The excitement of chasing after the clouds is not worth the suffering and despair. One afternoon, a strong wind carried all the clouds away. The sky became desperately empty. There were no more clouds to chase after. Life became empty for the river. She was so lonely she didn’t want to live anymore. But how could a river die? From something you become nothing? From…

This little pine tree, frozen at the base of a rock wall, looked so sad. #monochrome for #BlueSkyArtShow and #EastCoastKin #ArcanumAlumni #FineArtPhotography #Photography #G+Circle
A tiny pine tree, encased in ice and covered by thick heavy snow, needles still only on the top 25% of the tree. Frozen in ice at the base of a rock wall, in ivory monotone.

Throughout the 1920s, Isobel Codrington showed regularly at the Royal Academy and at the Salon in Paris. By the time of making this work, she was discussed regularly in the media - one critic said her paintings: 'are 'lovelier than pearls and precious metals.'

Poetic and nuanced, that delicate shadow play ignites the imagination - evoking a sense of wonder and curiosity. Absolutely stunning work by Kesja Tabaczuk.

Dantes and Devotions, Beatrice and Dante, Siddal and Rossetti, for this #FeelingsFriday.

Rossetti modeled Beatrice after his wife, fellow artist and poet, collaborator and frequent model, Elizabeth Siddal. Comparing his devotion to that of his namesake, the poet, Dante Alighieri.
