hush
“…till the morning break
And the white hush end all but the loud beat
Of their long wings, the flash of their white feet.”
–W.B. Yeats, from ‘To some I have talked with by the fire’
Once again I dipped into Jane Dougherty’s Month of Yeats for some inspiration. The Oracle seems to have caught a mood circling around the earth which is definitely Yeatsian.
Above is the view out back last night, which also somehow feels right for the Oracle’s (and Yeat’s) words…
bird wings like
cloudlight caught between
frost and wind
covering winter with paths
which grow cold shining
Beautiful. Such a lovely image in words (and collage).
The Oracle seemed to be a bit Yeats-inspired with me, too.

I like that image of wings and paths.

It makes me think of them as layers of the same thing – meanwhile your collage is like one looking down/following the other.

The mandala has many dimensions I find.

We stayed overnight with relatives about an hour north and woke up to about an inch of beautiful snow. Came home this afternoon and none 😦
