And sometimes when nothing seems to make sense, I walk by my favorite meadow. The wildflowers and the wild grass, they hold a different conversation. 🌱

It calls in the language of soft breezes and insect wings. And maybe here is my song to you, if the wind will carry it.

Sweet July ✨

I no longer know the way to
where we were to meet
by the lamp post with the hibiscus flower
double purple in sweet July.

The stars have realigned,
the sky is a different sky
and the elephants dance
to a silent song sung by angry mimes.

Will you know that is the reason
I have not arrived,
the sky, the stars, the mimes,
why the day has come but I have not?

[moby @mobymaybe]

I still
search for you
sometimes, maybe,
I mean
when the light hits just so
it looks
like a stairway
of a hundred, a thousand words
writing something
like your name ...

if you cry in the desert✨

raindrops, they say,
are tears from a giant desert lizard
crying to make the cactus bloom

(Minted on @objktcom with a companion piece as part of my postcard story project. Several editions sent to friends who send me gifts so often unannounced and I haven't returned the favor. Additional editions available if you like roadrunners and lizards😁🦎🫂⤵️)

starlight mixed with raindrops
that's how I'll always think of you ✨

I remember you, I didn't forget, it's okay, even the chest of memories sends a fragrance of your love 🌼

Postcards | signals | revelation✨
1/5 🧵
Something about the progress of the postcard project.😁
Directions: maybe moving toward less realistic and more poetic, messages a little more suspended, maybe the sender and receiver are no longer as clear

this is the latest postcard: revelation (thank you to dear friends who collected it .. here finally in this thread is a description of the card and the progress of the postcard project 🙃😅)

💠back and front are together on one side
💠I am still playing with designs, this one gives equal space to cover picture and the back message
💠the message floats a little and the receiver of the card is no longer as prominent

"of course you
the brave one
the one dancing
in the mist"

but there is a secret ⤵️

Special thank you to amazing artist and photographer @shimashots for collecting my piece "iris" from secondary 💙🫂

"iris" is the spark of iridescence that comes even in the dark. I am so glad it found a home in someone who shares in the secrets of flowers. My heartfelt thank you, Shima 💙💙

"... like some diffraction of a distant star
reminding me of my own iridescence
even here
even in the darkness
where even the night fish do not swim ..."

Congratulations to #AEW community (@pantea_pipar) on the sale!!! much love to you for all your support 🫂💙

field notes 🐑

The sheep return and the grass is tall and green. The meadows carry its own rhythm, singing still, a melody now that rises from the soft hum of winter. The sheep seem wary still, but the blackbirds rule their territory, protecting the marshlands from the chaos beyond its borders.

I live in their spell. The earth endures still. It is another spring. 🌱✨

[moby @mobymaybe]

Thank you's✨🫂

iris

momentary words
momentary rainbows
momentary angels
that spill into me like colors
like some diffraction of a distant star
reminding me of my own iridescence
even here
even in the darkness
where even the night fish do not swim

I thought of you again,
maybe once
too many times
when the day rolled onto its own pillow
how we scaled the park fence
because the gates had closed
we in our own world
in our own laughter
in our own fairy land

you, this momentary rainbow
who left your colors inside me

you, this momentary rainbow 🌈

[moby @mobymaybe]

January seems like two lifetimes ago, or maybe longer. I have no words really. Except maybe I continue to be grateful each day for the art that connects us.🫂

I realize more and more how precious each moment is. I am more grateful than ever for the friends who have returned to the timeline and still miss dearly those who haven't.

Each person brings something to this space, a kind word, a joke, something that makes you feel sad but at the same time understood, inspiration, hope even.

I begin June with the same thoughts I began the year even though so much has changed. To be more intentional, to support art and artists where I can. But also to be more intentional about my own time. I may be less active here than before, but hope to be more "present" in mind and spirit when I am here.

I've left off the gms and good mornings from my posts as you may have noticed, those of you who still visit. It seems to open up more space for conversations and I don't know, I guess it avoids having to respond to 200 or 300 comments, which I never could. 😅🙃 But I am always happy to say good morning if that is what you mainly want to say 🤣

And I apologize in advance I know I still miss your comments and posts 😌

I am grateful for each of you who spreads art and kindness into the world. Grateful for those of you who see me, my art, and who exchange laughs or that beautiful energy that makes us each a little more and maybe a little better than we were before.✨🫂

Scatter art, scatter kindness ✨💫

This moment. This now. Maybe only this. This breath. A child of the moment. ✨💚

Thank you to amazing calligraphy painter @HomaVasiee for this beautiful gift in Persian classical calligraphy, "The Flow of Now." 💙🫂

You know how much this resonates with me, and the pairing with the words of Khayyam is perfect. Thank you so much Homa 🙏✨🫂🫂

“Think not of the day already past. Fear not the day to come. Build your life neither on the past nor on the future, Be happy now and don’t toss your life to the wind.” ~ Omar Khayyam
