The night of the fire we had caught the thing worming its way out of the well, crude oil spilling from those screaming, wretched jaws like liquid gold.

小豆島カメラ集合写真撮影後、写真展の打ち合わせをしに オリーブ園のレストランへ。 撮影後の一杯はクリームソーダ。 みんなでワイワイ、ガヤガヤと楽しんだ思い出の味になりそうだ。 ［map］

a couple years ago the eric carle museum of picture book art had an exhibit on diane & leo dillon who are responsible for so many iconic illustrations. i went back twice just to see the collection again. this is a sliver of their work— it’s hard to find high res images.

“I feel more and more every day, as my imagination strengthens, that I do not live in this world alone but in a thousand worlds.”

"Immature people crave and demand moral certainty: This is bad, this is good. Kids and adolescents struggle to find a sure moral foothold in this bewildering world; they long to feel they’re on the winning side, or at least a member of the team. To them, heroic fantasy may offer a vision of moral clarity. Unfortunately, the pretended Battle Between (unquestioned) Good and (unexamined) Evil obscures instead of clarifying, serving as a mere excuse for violence — as brainless, useless, and base as aggressive war in the real world."

Ursula K Le Guin at it again, being right as always

Promised love, autumn sun, lay your hand upon my cheek. Your veil will catch the wind– I cannot look long, but the lace-dapple sight, caught between falling leaves, will wind my heart for the winter. I know that we are springbound, bouquet of daffodils, but november is not yet a miser. Take this taste– take a sight– take, before time’s shadow sets us cold, whatever it is you will.

Sometimes we dream of things long past, see them in the corner of our eyes, catch a glimpse of something so missed, it hurts… And for a moment, just an instant, we are happily lost in an illusion.

I keep dreaming of physically impossible monolithic structures made out of a glassy stone like dull black marble or tarnished obsidian. I can always see the stars like the structures themselves are floating on the surface of a still lake that perfectly reflects the night sky. That or they're just floating in space.
