Thank you! I believe in you too!

What is happening
to the planet? This
velocity of change,
this spiritual overhaul.
Hard, not to be distracted
by the bad and the ugly
when you strive only
to do one tiny
beautiful thing
after another, hoping
to create a ripple.

You chisel
and hone
your stellar-
born soul,
make ready
for revolution.
For everything
exists in spirals,
moves in circles.
Sunrise to moon-
rise, birth to rebirth.

I move in silence
these Payne's grey days, while the moon
wanes and slumbers soft.
A white cat crosses my path.
A stranger smiles knowingly.

So I Finally Read The English Patient... book review / books I've been meaning to read for ages / personal thoughts / think piece / getting over the shock of it

I finally got round to reading this absolute classic! 📖 All I can say is, damn, that was powerful. Have you read it? If so, what did you think? Did you prefer the book to the film? Let me know! 🤩

Ha ha! Glad to hear it! 😄

"Lacuna Matata!"
"No! It's Hakuna Matata."
"Oh. My bad."

Softly,
and not without pain,
we knit ourselves together
in the dark,
made of blood
and lust, fate
and consequence.

Right?! 🤍

In the ache of the days
I wonder
what fresh horror
awaits me
as I switch on
the news.

Thank you, Daniel! 💖

My hair has begun
to pale at the root
as if touched by
lightning or the
silvery moon. I
embrace the crone
who streaks though
me for she always
knows best how to
rest, how to hex.

It's NOT funny but why is it SO funny?! I am sorry to hear that. But having read all your updates backwards, I am also glad to hear you're on the mend 🙂

Goodness, that took a dark turn!

I love a happy ending! 😄

Inked stamp on a sheet of paper, showing what it does: a simple "AI FREE" label with a discombobulated robot face.

I made myself an AI FREE stamp for any creative workshops I'm running so that people can use it on their work if they like, and as a general reminder.

Oh what a wonderful story!! Thank you for sharing this absolute gold nugget ❤️

The height of cool! 🤩

Yeeessssss!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Don't remove the racist post.
Remove the racist from his post.

Excavation of the tomb of Akhet-Hetep at Giza revealed a monument to his mother Peseshet, the "Overseer of Women Physicians." She is the world's earliest known woman doctor, and practiced at the time of the building of the great pyramids in Egypt, about 2500 BC. #CelebratingWomen

Life advice:
- be kind to service workers & tip well
- don't curse the moon, because it can hear you
- learn enough black magic to cause some gentle mischief
- be the mossy forest horror you want to see in the world
