The Texture of Wartime Monet Going Through Old Notebooks Part 28: "Madame, you are standing too close to the paintings."

"Monet’s famous waterlilies were made during the war, and more people should know that. This is what I wanted to say, but couldn’t find the words. Look and you can see beneath the surface of the water: that dread, that waiting. Would it be destroyed, the garden in Normandy, like so many others?"

Full length view of the late 1880s pale yellow dress which cuts away to reveal a petticoat beneath. It has embroidered daffodils running the length of the gown and around to the train as well

The owl filled the staircase. For several moments Berde stared, stunned by the silent wall of black feathers.

A long strip of Hmong indigo-dyed batiked fabric in a metal sink half-full of water. I love this piece beyond reason, it smells of my childhood. Hopefully after this wash & many rinses the indigo won't come off on my fingers as much.

I have washed out the indigo-dyed Hmong skirt bottom I bought 36 years ago in Laos. I have not known what to do with it since, but last night a Plan hit me.

I heard stories of people who've fed crows, and been given gifts in return. It sounded charming, so I began doing that.

Then, one night, there was a rapping on my bedroom window. I stumbled up and opened.

A crow flew in and spoke: "They're coming for you. You must flee."

I only just made it out.

A red glass tankard with pink and yellow peace roses, on a table with a fringed scarf, and behind, very 1970s wooden shelves with a green glass bottle, and behind that a painting with stripes.

Three giant moths with glowing eyes approaching a human holding a flashlight. The moon rises behind them. A guy named Ted safely rides an ATV away from them. The text reads: Ted wasn't sure how he ended up at the Visiting of the moths, but he was sure glad he wore the proper gear: gloves, goggles, boots, long-sleeve shirt, pants and a helmet.

Pentagon Fires Another Laser at a Drone, Prompting a New Air Closure After the downing of a Customs and Border Protection drone, the F.A.A. closed the airspace above Fort Hancock, Texas.

A Pentagon laser inadvertently downed a government drone on Thursday, prompting the FAA to ban flights over Fort Hancock, Texas, a small border town about 55 miles southeast of El Paso, citing β€œspecial security reasons.”

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.
