rosy days are around the corner. they are like stepping stones, and all that must be done is to follow. every word uttered, every timbre of heartbeat, changes thus changes the true. peace comes from seeing round the corner a new day, a new day, a new day. a high vision produces a high result.

Bach. Ah! How can something rooted in mathematics, which brings centrifugal counterpoint dangers to centripetal consonance, a totalising yet microscopic account of how things are, declare its own transience & our unimportance in the cosmic expanse, yet do it all with beauty, plangent but intangible?

This chirimen rinzu silk kimono features stark geometric patterning, with its angular pink motifs against a deep black ground. The aesthetics demonstrates a clear influence from the Bauhaus movement and Art Deco sensibilities that were reshaping design vocabularies worldwide. 1926-1940, Japan

I mopped the floors and put up the tree. I made pumpkin bread. I went for a walk. Everything in order.
