Starlings – Jimmi Campkin

Leave a reply

She told me; I want to tell you three things and I want you to shut up whilst I’m talking. Holding up a hand, she extended a finger as she counted. There’s a dream… a memory… and a verdict. They are connected, but I don’t know how.

Writer, Photographer and creator of SANCTUARY I and SANCTUARY II
“It is a time of tons of verbiage, activity, consumption. Which condition is better for the world at large I will not venture to discuss. But I do know, that many of those who are driven to this life are desperately searching for those pockets of silence where we can all root and grow. We must all hope we find them” – Mark Rothko

The Hardest questions

What Can you Do Today That You Could Not Do 1 Year Ago?

I have started with:
“Sit alone; sit quietly
Learn something new without any apparent practical benefit.
Ask individuals for bold feedback; ignore what you hear from the crowd.
Spend time encouraging other artists.
Teach, with the intent of making change.
Ship something that you created” – Seth Godin, The Icarus Deception

I have learned the ins and outs of political marketing as to “Learn something new without any apparent practical benefit.”

Later edit: I just thought I wouldn’t have any practical benefit, because starting this September I am local councillor elect.

The black hole soul

Every sound, every act, every scene
is drowned by a sigh that still echoes
long after the hearts have broken,

Pan’s Labyrinth

“Many, many years ago in a sad, faraway land, there was an enormous mountain made of rough, black stone. At sunset, on top of that mountain, a magic rose blossomed every night that made whoever plucked it immortal. But no one dared go near it because its thorns were full of poison…”

From “Pan’s Labyrinth” (El Laberinto del Fauno), written and directed by Guillermo del Toro.

There is a place I can dwell – Jasper Kerkau

There is a place I can dwell – Jasper Kerkau‘s gorgeous piece on Sudden Denouement:

“There is a place I can dwell, removed from silent gore of emotional life tied to humid residue of lost summers. From failure springs the renewing waters of new worlds laid out–removed of the impurities of dysfunction, bad relationships, tarnished pasts, regressed lives spoiled under the hot sun. A celebration of life!”
