small heads pop up from burrows
near the path, our oohing and aahing
part of their scenery
as they are - fleetingly - of ours.

it might be a moment I remember
as age drifts memories
out of reach and mind.

"I saw puffins": a tiny mantra
held close against the dying days.

Shall I tell myself a bed time story,
snuggle under the sheets,
curl into a softening ball,
yawn once or twice as
my eyes close slowly?
Shall I tell a tale
of wonder and noticing,
laced with laughter, magic and delight?
Would you listen with me?

Small moments of play = quiet happiness.
A non- trivial transformation of an ordinary day.
There should be/could be an equation for this:
H={C×T×E}2
I think it has universal application.

I have a daring dream.
To be a master artificer...
to extract the patterns of nature...
to find practice and study
distilled into simplicity,
into the essence of beauty...
to reach where words cannot follow.

Terminal 2, Barcelona.
Here for the second time
- after a fog-canceled flight -
we talk again about if...
(and it is a soul-born yearning)
IF
Gaudi had designed this airport.

The roof would ripple,
soft white curves of light under oceans;
pillars would spiral to a roof of coloured glass,
light spilling over our patient faces.
Underfoot, we would stand on dragons,
sea creatures, birds, greening trees.

It wouldn't need to be a church to make us
unanimously more whole.

"Travel unravels the mind."
It's been a while since I played with altered photo collage. I used to do a lot of daily challenges and I kind of miss that. It gave me a reason to take a creative moment that fed my soul.

The three pieces are Toward Stillness, The Long Exhale, and Time to Settle — pieces that feel right at home in a show celebrating small-scale art.

Because the world can be too much for us.
Because the algorithms don't understand.
Because we do.
