At each #stage, from #wath to wax, the backstrap sinew grew stronger; with every arrow, it weakened. Isiah's bowstring, like Isiah himself, hasn't aged in three hundred years. But both were stretched too far, too often, by the time Isiah was hanged. #vss365 #LandmarksVss

This year, the #mommet wears a patchwork coat of many #colours, but he does not dream. He does not need to. In centuries without sleep, he has seen fat cattle and lean cattle, bountiful grain and blight, and whole families bowing their faces to the ground. #LandmarksVss #vss365

Never an #intellectual, he walked in the rain, jumped in puddles and placed bets on raindrop races. I remember how people despaired of his obvious failings, but with my graduation certificate still in the drawer and dry days before me, I envy, wanting to get my feet wet. #vss365

Seahorse papas tiffle among the seagrass, their curves rife with tiny life. They do not dream of what lies above the waves. Their bellies sway to the rhythm of the sea, and they watch angels rise and fall like sunlight through the water. #LandmarksVSS

A tiffle of beetle script, meandering in the tree wood.... #LandmarksVSS #tiffle

This beautiful willow was cut down a few days ago, and it hurts my heart 🍃
