Just had to keep the butterfly theme going now that #Butterflyweek has ended 😪. A pop of blue from this Common Blue. Happy Monday everyone

a bright blue butterfly, wings open, a fine black edge to its wings, followed by a white frill. Its body is a gorgeous fluffy blue and its antennae are black and white stripes. It is sate on a large green leaf

Ceremonial youth kimono, late 19th c, Japan. It features the Seven Treasures - legendary auspicious objects that include the wish-fulfilling jewel, sacred scrolls, rhinoceros horn cups, clove weights, and other talismanic items believed to bestow protection and prosperity upon the wearer.

Working with Sigmund Freud's Civilization and its Discontents. It all comes together in the work and the times. I'm sort of surprised I would have to explain. Then again I'm always explaining about not being a writer and not wanting to write. But I digress #Art #collage #Worksonpaper

Friend gave me a John O’Donohue book recently. It’s quite good.

“To Come Home To Yourself”

To Come Home To Yourself

May all that is unforgiven in you
Be released.

May your fears yield
Their deepest tranquilities.

May all that is unlived in you
Blossom into a future
Graced with love.

Ha! Perfect. The constant eye contact thing people demand is my downfall. I can do it.
After doing it to make them happy or whatever they think it does. I start to get pissed off. Sort of a "You demand eye contact? Ok. I'll give to you asshole" They then pick up on that eventually and I'm toast. 😬

For about 7 years I went to The Wedge on every swell. I loved taking photos there. My car eventually just wore out. it was hard on my skin and eyes too. I'm 67 now and I can tell you a life in the sun is rough on your body. Now I just dream of deep green forests. #Stunday #Photography #Bodysurfing
