Honoring craftsmanship

I had the honor of adding to the superior skills of others.

Painting this gate made me look at and appreciate the artestry and engineering that went into making this gate to our home, in the week where the greatest challenge was handed out.

The challenge of surviving the winter of 2020-2021 ad.

Plastic Life

These 4 pieces of sea weathered plastic were found on the Welsh coast many years ago.

They have weathered to look similar to seashells.

I have always wondered about how their origin in Crude Oil deposits which were laid down in ancient times by the skeletal remains of sea creatures, is just another cycle of life.

Perhaps, with time, the life of today that evolves to gain nutrition from plastics in the environment will thrive in a further stage of Darwin’s theory?

The images with a strong LED light glowing through them, reveils their structure and nature further.

STILL ME

Outside I’m still

sometimes at sleep

or trying to be still

I stir

inside always.

Never stopping stirring slipping

straining to be still

to be clear.

Knowing I’ll be free of it,

stirring inside trying to get out.

Be still in me.
