UK. As I get older I grow less certain about just about everything - other than a faith in kindness, creativity, gentleness, and the need to strive for truth and whatever level of intelligence we might be capable of. I share my life with someone way better than I deserve. This blog is for art, music, photography, poetry, literature, beauty and the occasional wry smile. If I post something you own, let me know and I will remove. You can talk if you like.

GUSTAF FJAESTAD, “Winter Landscape”
“Our life is a faint tracing on the surface of mystery, like the idle curved tunnels of leaf miners on the face of a leaf. We must somehow take a wider view, look at the whole landscape, really see it, and describe what’s going on here. Then we can at least wail the right question into the swaddling band of darkness, or, if it comes to that, choir the proper praise.”
— Annie Dillard, ‘Pilgrim at Tinker Creek’
