A lovely mile

Details:

My own heart let me more have pity on; let
Me live to my sad self hereafter kind,
Charitable; not live this tormented mind
With this tormented mind tormenting yet.
I cast for comfort I can no more get
By groping round my comfortless, than blind
Eyes in their dark can day or thirst can find
Thirst's all-in-all in all a world of wet.

Soul, self; come, poor Jackself, I do advise
You, jaded, let be; call off thoughts awhile
Elsewhere; leave comfort root-room; let joy size
At God knows when to God knows what; whose smile
's not wrung, see you; unforeseen times rather — as skies
Betweenpie mountains — lights a lovely mile.

My own heart let me more have pity on by Gerard Manley Hopkins

Can't quite see in the mist.

I love these raw moist dawns with
a thousand birds you hear but can't
quite see in the mist.
My old alien body is a foreigner
struggling to get into another country.
The loon call makes me shiver.
Back at the cabin I see a book
and am not quite sure what that is.

Another Country by Jim Harrison

Friends with talent

I met Virginia, and we became friends, when I went to her HP Lovecraft readings (Tuesdays 5pm SLT) at Innsmouth. She became one of the artists featured at Galleria Kakku. Through her I heard of this exhibit at The Red Gallery, benefiting Team Diabetes of SL. It will open on the 20th. I really love the pictures she made for it. There will be a lot of artists featured and the proceeds go to an important cause. John Brianna (Johannes1977) is also one of the Galleria Kakku artists, and is the 2016 SL coordinator of the charity. He runs The Windlight Art Gallery and works for the Kultivate magazine. You can see, why I had to share this event, I am very happy they are doing such a great event.

Speak the word that sets me free

Laden Autumn here I stand
Worn of heart, and weak of hand:
Nought but rest seems good to me,
Speak the word that sets me free.

- William Morris
