It is a fact seldom acknowledged that you can have a great job, a great relationship and a great place to live, but only two out of three at any one time.

“As Sokrates tells it, your story begins the moment Eros enters you. That incursion is the biggest risk of your life. ... You perceive what you are, what you lack, what you could be.” Anne Carson, Eros the Bittersweet

Weather Report pt 2: contrails for comets at sunset. Words I’ve held dear since 1987: ‘A comet that was lost Should be visible at sunset, Those million tons of light Like a glimmer of haws & rose-hips’ Ravens homeward on taffeta wings. Blowing up sparks from embers of light. *Seamus Heaney
Sunset framed by trees, & a short vapour trail from an aeroplane lit brightly.

If you've never seen Margaret Tait's film-poem based on a piece by Gerard Manley Hopkins, I suggest you take six minutes to treat yourself today. I wrote about why I think it works so well here.

In the early part of the 20thC, the Swiss artist Hans Emmenegger began making recurrent themes of enigmatic, dark forest interiors, exploring the optical effects of light and colour. This work was painted in 1933.
