Took a natural ink making class last weekend and made some unofficial alternate covers for 'The Veldt Institute' plus an illustration of the Dolmen. Made with copper solution, sumac, sulfur solution and a few others.

A quote from the novel 'The Veldt Institute': "If we can know it, it is not worth mentioning. It can be known. What can be known? Not to mention, not to know. To know it is to say it. To know it. To mention. Ah, the mentioning, the knowing. Ah, and to be known and to mentioned? But even more so? To be not mentioned!"

A quote from the novel 'The Veldt Institute' by Samuel M. Moss: "There is the hidden. What we call the cryptic: that which is stored in the crypt. Both hidden and dead, hidden in a temporary death. As dead: hidden from life and yet, able to return to life, to reflect in living."

Quote from the novel 'The Veldt Institute': "When the tape starts, there are always a few seconds of grainy noise, which recalls the unsilent silence of no sound, the eigengrau of the auditory channel."

Quote from the novel 'The Veldt Institute': "It's an interesting phenomenon...these memories, that at one moment feel like a great weight, in the next lift off and float away. One not recognize, at the time, that once the past has gone, it has gone for good."

Quote from 'The Veldt Institute': “One can know, quite rationally, that the Institute might be anywhere within the veldt, even close to the veldt’s edge, but, when staring out of those windows, one comes to feel, ineluctably, that not only is the Institute at the center of the veldt, but one’s very self is situated at the absolute center.”

In December 2021 I set out to write 'a poem a day' with the goal of writing 1000 poems. I didn't really think I could or would finish it. I just wanted to have some writing goal to work toward. Today I wrote the thousandth poem in that project.

This is a picture of what we, in the Pacific Northwest, refer to as 'being out on a beautiful day, having an awesome time.'
Sam, barely visible and in the distance, crouches at the top of a hill. There are a trees and bare bushes. All of this is partially obscured by fog under overcast skies
