Every attempt I’ve made to start the newsletter this week has fallen short. The things happening in real time in the world, they are too enormous, there are no helpless words I can possibly add.
Do people still hold vigils anymore? I’m sure that comes in a lot of forms these days. Perhaps I’ll just offer a vigil in images to facilitate both sorrow and the longing for peace. Oh, how we need peace.
Until next time, Gill xo
All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hands to left or right,
And emptiness above –
Know that you aren’t alone.
The whole world shares your tears,
Some for two nights or one,
And some for all their years.
-Vikram Seth
You are a healing balm.
Your art has millions of words contained within it. It is so beautiful and healing to the soul to see.
