Our gathering together never gets better: words dozing in morning song

Unrelenting waves burst upon the frozen sand the frozen land bears the weight Unrelenting
I followed the river until I forgot my name — Ansel Elkins, Native Memory
forgot the past, too; some future wends its way forward across watered stones and broken wood, branches like debris like fragments of stories, eddied, in which one only becomes ever lost
Xenodochy (confronting bias)
Closed minds make for closed borders, so seek some common ground and open the doors towards strangers and stories

Worldcraft (acquired wisdom)
There is a twisting spiral of meaning here that poets and gamers and secular artists have long wrestled with, but it’s best to settle in with what the Swedes say of ancient understanding of variations of this craft of the world, that “the afternoon knows what the morning never suspected.”

Violon D’ingres (exploring interests)
Never set aside that which inspires you to make something out of nothing – to make art where no art was visible before – for in each small sliver of each small nothing, there might yet be the very something with which one weaves forth a full and rich life

Villeggiatura (weariness of urban life)
Dispatches from the city indicated unusual quiet, the possibilities of nature reclaiming concrete
From this window villa, we sipped coffee and mused on a world lightly populated with people
as the flowers among the weeds grew strong, as if we knew all along the dirt could sustain us

High-Mettle (finding courage)
Miners, we’re told, once sought from flow
sifting sand to discover specks of gold
Now the world settles for a seam of mettle
the strength to start from stop to go
Inspired by an exploration of the word in The Cabinet of Calm (Soothing Words for a Troubled World) by Paul Anthony Jones
A misplaced hour where the gap between the night and morning exists
