It is extraordinary and heart-rending to see hostages returned to their families in Israel after their two-year ordeal in captivity. It is all so long overdue, and the world prays for sustained peace-building and continued healing in the region.

David Lloyd invites us to see form as an expression of feeling, a notion whereby the physical world becomes the geometric expression of inner emotion, carrying—or, better yet, mirroring—in its patterns the qualitative structures of feeling.

That’s a beautiful essay, it resonates with me. The circle is wholeness &it is engraved with journeys past. It is a simple pattern that, once created is never destroyed, &ever blooms & grows by divine geometry.

'I as free forgive you as I would be forgiven'
- Henry VIII (II, 1)

This is the tomb where Elizabeth I and Mary I lie buried together in the Abbey. Beside the tomb is a memorial stone to the martyrs of the Reformation.

A stone in the floor of Westminster Abbey, inscribed with the words:

Near the tomb of Mary and Elizabeth
Remember before God all those who divided at the Reformation
by different convictions
Laid down their lives for Christ and conscience sake

TEMPEST V.i

You, brother mine, that entertain'd ambition,
Expell'd remorse and nature; who, with Sebastian,
Whose inward pinches therefore are most strong,
Would here have kill'd your king; I do forgive thee,
Unnatural though thou art.
