I have been working over in Photoshop, this quarter, in Gimp, the open-source program. Just having a bit of fun with some of the classic art images. Moving characters around timelines, blending Van Gogh with Rembrandt and Larsen and a few more, too.
For imagination breaks on visuals and it's cemented in words and media, in stories and poems, and art; and in images found in fairy tales and religious stories.
I love the stories,a young woman meets her prince, another young woman conceives of the greatest story ever told, a kiss turns a frog into a prince, a pauper finds his crown; and folk fall in love with an idea and build a social and internal world around it. It's why we like to work with lovely ideas here at TLW, to work with others to help create beautiful worlds. To impress them on the air, to let them fly to break through into a reality.
For what we put out we get back and who we are is governed by what we experience. Isn't it! Give me beauty, honesty and truth any day.
It's a tip of the hat to our writers for allowing beauty and love and honesty to seep through into our environment and for allowing us the opportunity to read, to muse, and speculate on their world view.
On another note I saw a February first sunset here on St. Brigid's Day this year, this is what it was like:
St Brigid's Set
Sundown presented as a glowing white ball.
It poured a diamond path onto an easy sea.
On the beach a fisherman sat with two rods,
And a heron fished in the clear water.
And I thought that someone somewhere had released
A photo into the aether, someone somewhere
Had cared about light and beauty.
Someone somewhere sometime had impressed
A form that was replayed this evening at sundown.
My best,
Mari
