Art for the Times
These are some artworks & goings-on that I’ve come across in the last few days that have given me a jolt of inspiration. I share them to inspire you and amplify the artists behind the works:

Daily poems by Rosemary Wahtola Trommer. You too can sign up here.After Effects
In the dream, Craig said to me,
you know, Rosemerry, there
are fifty-eight kinds of loss.
He pointed me to an easel
with a large blank page and handed me
a moss green pen. Here, he said.
Fill them in. There were two columns.
Loss of living. Loss of the dead.
In minutes words filled the page
like clover reproducing in a field.
Loss of time. Loss of breath. Loss of love.
Loss of masks. Loss of shoulds. Loss
of musts. When I woke, I could
no longer name them all. But I
felt them growing in me, feel them,
still, flowerless and powerful,
exploiting any cracks in my certainty,
breaking me down from the inside,
making me softer, softer. Softer.

Are you familiar with Project UnLonely? I heard Jeremy Nobel speak at Curtis Memorial Library a while back and have been following them ever since. With a simple online sign up (free) you can access their film collection of inspiring shorts. Ballet After Dark is one I just watched and highly recommend! Click here.
