May we raise children who love the unloved things - the dandelion, the worms & spiderlings. Children who sense ... the rose needs the thorn & run into rainswept days the same way they turn towards sun... And when they're grown & someone has to speak for those who have no voice may they draw upon that wilder bond, those days of tending tender things and be the ones. ~ Nicolette Sowder wilderchild.com Art by Lucy Campbell lupiart.com

SOULCRAFT MUSING: Romance, Revolution and Dark Waters Part VI by Rebecca Wildbear Friday, September 4, 2020... This is the sixth part of a multi-part Musing (one per week). Dark Waters I have always been in love with dark waters. As a teen, I often sat at the edge of the sea near my home at night. I preferred it there, imaging myself submerged under water. I felt the presence of another world with its potent unseen possibilities. When I emerged from the river missing a shoe at thirty-three, it was a call to live with one foot in the dark waters. Similar to the myth of Persephone, who lives half her life in the underworld. The dark waters are a mythic place I inhabit that gives me soul power. These waters are pure mystery and the womb from which all things are born. They invite dissolution and steep us in uncertainty. Most of our universe is darkness, confirming the existence of mystery, more is unknown than is known. Sixty-eight percent of the universe is dark energy[1] and twenty-seven percent is dark matter. Less than five percent of our world is real matter, everything else understood by science. When we’re in darkness, our eyes cannot see, so our imagination, a powerful and intuitive strategy to listen, grows stronger. Visions and unique phenomena emerge from darkness which can source our romance and our revolution.

Lubomir Arsov’s groundbreaking short film IN-SHADOW: A Modern Odyssey poses this question through an epic quest into the darkness of Western civilization. At a mere 13 minutes long, this gorgeously illustrated film embarks on a journey of exploration into the human psyche, bringing society’s dark underbelly to the surface. If a purpose of art is to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed, as Cesar Cruz once observed, this film is an undeniable masterpiece

Happy Birthday to American artist Hale Woodruff, who was born #onthisday in 1900. Though far from monumental in size, Results of Poor Housing and Results of ...Good Housing reflect Hale Woodruff’s early Social Realist style and the influence of Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, with whom Woodruff studied. This pair of paintings was a gift from the artist to James H. Therrell, the director of housing for the City of Atlanta in the early 1940s.The stark contrast between this image and Results of Good Housing clearly expresses the artist’s support of Therrell’s progressive programs. Hale Woodruff (American, 19001980). Study for The Results of Poor Housing. ca. 19411942. Oil on board. Hale Woodruff (American, 19001980). Study for The Results of Good Housing. ca. 19411942.

Very Creative. A roll model for us as we age.
