A library
I use a library the same way I’ve been describing the creative process as a writer — I don’t go in with lists of things to read, I go in blindly and reach up on shelves and take down books and open them and fall in love immediately. And if I don’t fall in love that quickly, shut the book, back on the shelf, find another book, and fall in love with it. You can only go with loves in this life.
– Ray Bradbury
Art by Rob Gonsalves.
On writing stories
“Writers pocket these moments and pull them out to look at later under a lamp with a notebook. This is fine with me—it’s magpie stealing. It is general and gestural and often sweet.”
– Courtenay Bluebird on writing stories
Art by Leonora Carrington.
Whatever form…
“We have given you, O Adam, no visage proper to yourself, nor endowment properly your own, in order that whatever place, whatever form, whatever gifts you may, with premeditation, select, these same you may have and possess through your own judgement and decision.
– Pico della Mirandola
Art by William Blake.
My soul
“My soul is alight with your infinitude of stars. Your world has broken upon me like a flood. The flowers of your garden blossom in my body.”
– Rabindranath Tagore
Art by Kevin Sloan.
Teaching…
There is no place for arrogance in the teaching. The only thing is changing the world of your students.

I illustrate with a masterpiece by Michael Cheval because I do believe in the miraculous power of canvas storytelling.

Happy December Everyone!
Happy December Everyone!
December from Eugène Samuel Grasset‘s La Belle Jardinière calendar, 1896
It was November
It was November ~ the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines.
– L.M. Montgomery
It was November ~ the month of promiscuous trees, turbulent moons dressed up in haze, opal leaves layering the smock of earth.

Bees….
“Bees blew like cake-crumbs through the golden air, white butterflies like sugared wafers, and when it wasn’t raining a diamond dust took over which veiled and yet magnified all things”
Laurie Lee – Cider With Rosie
Eliot Hodgkin – Undergrowth
