memory

Life is but a dream whose shapes return
Some frequently
Some seldom
Some by night
Some by day
Some night and day
We learn, the while all change and many vanish quite
In their recurrence with recurrent changes
A certain seeming order where this ranges
We count things real...such is memory's might

Oliviah, this is one stunning piece of art. I would love to print this image on canvas using brushworks to create natural paint stroke and hang it on my wall within a heavy one inch wood frame with the painted canvas wrapping around the frame. Oh, and I want it big too. Big enough for a living room wall, like say maybe four feet by six feet. Could you hand deliver it? :-D

Have a wonderful weekend my Beautiful Soul whose smile is permanently fixed in my mind.

Love, hugs and kisses. :-)

It is so different again. It is the variety that you produce in your fractals that amazes me most. And that can all be so evocative.
As for memory, I wrote last summer that something that bothers me is that increasingly, I find that I remember what I want to forget and forget what I want to remember.
Wishing you all the time free of pain and aching, not just the weekend. But let that be particularly positive for you!

Fantastic post, Oliviah! From the touch of that title through the delving into that gorgeous image and to the weaving of that passage, from start to finish in other words, fantastic in one.

A lovely weekend, x

Have a great weekend my dear Beautiful Soul.

Did I say "love" yet? How else, how else does one get to describing this. The one thing that continues to amaze me almost even more than the art itself is the poetry that you choose to accompany it.

Synthesis.
