Merry Clayton’s voice cracked on that line but she kept on singing. #Murderland does the same thing. It doesn’t look away from the women murdered while institutions shrugged.

The day after my grandmother’s funeral I woke to find my straight as rain strands twisting into springy coils. By midday my head was crowned with untamed ringlets. It was no medical anomaly but my grandmother’s bequest of refusing to let anyone smooth down my edges. #vss365 #bequest

Geoorde fuut - Podiceps nigricollis - in zomerkleed zwemt richting de kijker. De foto is gemaakt vanuit een laag standpunt, maar net boven de waterspiegel en toont het perspectief dat een soortgenoot van dit dier ook zou hebben. De snavel, kop, hals en rug van de vogel zijn zwart met achter het oog, in de oorstreek, een waaier van lange goudgele veren. Het oog van de vogel is vuurrood. De flanken zijn roodbruin.

During the early 20thc, artist Rowena Cade (1893–1983) started to create the open air Minack Theatre, Porthcurno, on the Cornish cliffs, UK, with the help of her gardener Billy and only hand tools. She continued to build into her last years #WomensArt

“…wail the right question into the swaddling band of darkness…” —Pilgrim at Tinker Creek Annie Dillard died today. She arrived at a hinge in my life and I never separated the two. Annie watched hard things and looked at the whole landscape, giving horror and beauty the same care. #AnnieDillard

What a wondrous presence Annie Dillard’s words of piercing aliveness and immersive attention have been in my life and in this world. Grieving and cherishing her in her passage today.

A black-and-white photo of a white woman Annie Dillard in her 60s smiling with her hands up, pulling her collar… she’s facing natural light and there’s a radiance to her, aliveness around her eyes and the vibrancy in her countenance. Below my words “any Dillard has crossed over I feel the great grief as well as a deep tender wonder for all that she had Spoken to my deepest heart “

A glacial-blue lake held between steep forested ridges, low cloud lying along the far slopes and breaking up into thin white bands overhead against deep blue sky. The water is still enough to mirror the hills and clouds. In the foreground, a gravel shore with bleached driftwood.

Oh Wendell Berry, another great elder become ancestor 🪔. So many favorite writings by him, holding this as reverence and passageway. “.. Go without sight, and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings, and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings”. 📷: Guy Mendes.

A black-and-white photo ny photographer Guy Mendes of an older
white man named Wendell Berry, sitting on the Banks of the river. He’s wearing a collared shirt and Dungaree kind of pants with lace up boots and a baseball hat. His expression is open and peaceful looking off into the shoreline with a slight smile. He has a little dog, resting her head on his knee. Overlaid the photo is his poem. “To Know The Dark by Wendell Berry
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight, and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings, and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings”

Gather brambles and pick them clean, then crush the dark fruit and boil it with sugar. Entomb the harvest beneath a double seal of white wax and let summer fade. Slide a silver blade through the bone-white seal on winter solstice. Say “Unseal the Sun that did not die.” Enjoy. #vss365 #wax

Wispy fog crept up the slope of old forest behind my house, its steep stairway laid in cockeyed concrete sections, marvelously leaf littered, and slippery. I flew upwards, landed on the road above my home, grazed on ripe blackberries then swept off the stairs on my way back down. #vss365 #broom

You don’t have to earn this place and nothing is thrown away here. The moss and the rot, the fern and the fallen, all of it breathing together, makes the forest. #ForestFriday #OlympicPeninsula #PNW #scape #LandscapePhotography #Photography

Mossy temperate rainforest floor in low, diffuse light. A moss-blanketed rock and a large tree trunk anchor the right side, their exposed roots draped in bright green moss spilling across the forest floor. A fallen, bark-stripped log lies across the middle ground, breaking into reddish rot and splinters. Sword ferns fill the left; tall, straight conifers recede into a dim green background. The ground is a mix of moss, fallen twigs, and rust-brown needle litter.
