Birds and Flowers of the Four Seasons
As a rebuttal to the violence so recently exemplified in France, and wherever it occurs (let's remember this shit happens every day in a dozen other countries), this week @ The Blackthorn Orphans will be exclusively devoted to beautiful, meaningful objects and images inspired by the natural world. By spirituality and individual experience of the divine instead of religion. A celebration of those tangible physical truths that seem to so offend brutal fucktards everywhere.
Sometimes I need to remind myself, hard, that we aren't all just a swarm of gibbering bloodthirsty monkeys going batshit because there are far too many of us. This idea haunts so much of my writing and private rumination already, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
So let's stick our fingers in our ears and go la la la la with the help of some Homo-genic wonders.
First off- beauteous moments from Japanese art as currently presented at The Met.
You can see more in the NYT.
And something from Björk, because we can all do with more of that.
