Expressions of times that now seem to have come from story books. John Donne’s beautiful face and lyrical garb.

The blackened bodies seem to say something … human dignity? human folly? a search for meaning? I don’t know.

Anyway, I am transported as I begin my day.

“Viking grave marker”.

Just — Wow. My mind is enlarged by what I learn here. And my visual vocabulary is expanded by the images I see here. The incredible motifs in this historic “marker” will fuel my creative fires.
It is one of the most compelling fragments I’ve seen — ever!

Amazing. GA, you are the best.
