today's the 24th of dezember, which marks christmas eve and the day I was born, nineteen years ago.
I woke up early this morning with the weirdest feeling inside that I ever have when it's my birthday. but this time it was different. I had the feeling that something was wrong, that it is acceptable for me to get one year older.
a friend of mine just asked me how I'd feel to be nineteen now (she asked me that question as a joke, saying that she doesn't like to be ask that question every year). I replied that my self-esteem isn't growing as I don't have a job or a place to study yet. it rather makes me said to know that there's so much ahead and I haven't done anything of it in this past year. I want to go to university now, I want to have a job, I want to live on my own.
it's saddening as well that my brother was one step ahead as he was turning nineteen.
but I am pretty sure that I'm going to achieve all my goals set for the next year. I'll go to university as soon as I can and I will make my dreams come true.
as I stepped into the woods some days ago, the dog by my side, I came across this beautiful tree lying on the ground. I fell in love with its branches and the way they run. I liked it a lot to make it to a symbol of my life. for all the ways I've already walked in my past nineteen years and for all the ways lying ahead. I don't know which one I'll take but I think that each way will hold something for me.
to all the people who liked my art and supported me for what I am doing, I'd like to wish you a merry christmas and may all the dreams come true for you!
thank you all for the support. I love you as much as I can!
The ways wind around the hills and dales, they traverse valleys and encounter peaks and pinnacles always all ways lead one to the other and back around to The Mother. Gaia if you will and Gaia if you won’t, the Earth is alive we are part of the paths that litter and loiter, that picnic and pollute and in all of our ways to some we are unfulfilling her ways. Pre-determinate and Post-freewill the routes are taken and they form a language written and spoken, played out to the fall of feet and reverberated into the living thrumming beat.

found flickering forever in the frame

Which way to go? The shortest way, the straight one? Or the most beautiful? Or the one that leads to the ocean? Or towards the sun? Which way to go?
There are only two mistakes one can make along the way to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

I have a dream, in a galaxy far, far away! Once upon a time, in a mightily different world we could and did travel to places that could blow our mind. This was one of those places.
When we are planning to go somewhere on a holiday we have never been before, we often envisage it in our mind. Look up photos somewhere on the net, read Lonely Planet books (probably a bit old fashioned now) or just get tips from others. But some places are just so far from what one imagines, you are left in awe. And this was one for us, a mouth gaping and unexpected place.
While this photo was taken on our second visit in 2015, this city left us breathless in its majesty whenever we stood on its main street and looked around. We could never have imagined what the eye could see that little else could demonstrate the reality of.
This tram or light rail vehicle if you want to use the modern nomenclature is descending the hill down South St. Andrew Street, Edinburgh, Scotland and is about to turn to its right into the main thoroughfare of town, Princes Street. It's in what is known as the New Town. If I turned 180 degrees I could look across Princes Street Gardens in the valley below and then up to the rear of the buildings lining the Royal Mile on the rise on the other side, the famous street (really six streets in one) that runs uphill to the right and Edinburgh Castle sitting on its rock high above the city. A truly magnificent sight.
COVID-19 has changed our world in ways we see and in ways we cannot begin to imagine. It's been some 18 months now and grappling with an ever mutating virus and populations who are ever more wary on one hand and ever more anxious to break out on the other, we still see no end. It's taught us a lot, much of it worse than a big policeman's boot up the backside but I know one thing when I look back at pictures like this, I am thankful for the life and opportunities we had in life and hope and pray that one day, especially for those yet to experience them, whatever they are that at some stage we will get back to normality or even better than what we would regard as normal. That's my retrospective and introspective for today.
By the way, before I leave this minor tome, I should mention that the good food people of Edinburgh who serve up some mighty fare round town think the electro-magnetic fields caused by the trams have acted rather like the Pied Piper and stirred up the rats. At least they told us so and we saw and we believe! To be fair, we saw one rat in a cafe close to this spot and that's what the staff told us and the others who were standing on chairs while they "dealt" with the problem! One of those funny travel experiences. We had more than one in that cafe but the other is for another time.
Mysterious Ways
A woodland wander in the Eden Valley near Lazonby a couple of weeks back on one of those gorgeous misty mornings. There can be no better sight than watching the mist slowly drifting its way through a forest of birch trees.

Be Still - Week 41
For Week 40 Make&Take, I decorated Easter eggs with feathers. For Week 41 Take-3 ways, I made a bunting with the same feathers.

Due anime alate si stagliano contro il cielo infuocato del tramonto, simbolo di una connessione profonda che sfida le avversità. Insieme percorrono le invisibili vie dell’aria, guidate dalla forza della resilienza e dal richiamo ancestrale della migrazione. Ogni battito d’ali racconta il coraggio di affrontare l’ignoto, spingendosi oltre i confini del conosciuto verso una nuova promessa di vita. La loro rotta, tracciata dal cuore e dal cielo, celebra la bellezza del viaggio condiviso e l’invincibile desiderio di vivere.

Proverbs 2:13-15 “These men turn from the right way to walk down dark paths. They take pleasure in doing wrong, and they enjoy the twisted ways of evil. Their actions are crooked, and their ways are wrong.”

For this abstract artwork, New Ways, made on wood, I used a variety of liquid paints, glazes and resins, applied in numerous layers and layers to create complex depth. I let each layer dry completely before applying the next. This creation process, which lasted for years, required patient experimentation and a constant search for the perfect balance between movement, depth, brightness, shapes and shades.
Shades of red, gold, purple and blue blend in unpredictable ways, offering the viewer a visual experience that changes with each new observation.
