It’s all a bit funny

After an hour or so of giggling confessions and altering what we already had we are still in limbo, unsure of every glance and waiting for nobody to notice

If there is nothing you can share with other people, try to be close to Things. Things will not abandon you. The nights are still there, and the winds that move through the trees and across many lands. Everything in the world of Things and animals is filled with being, of which you are part.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

It’s funny how everyone has their own style of tactical sunbathing, even my dog.

The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle

Oscar Droege 1898 - 1982
Oscar Droege was an exceptional woodblock artist and
one of the best of the German woodblock practitioners.
He was born and died in Hamburg, and is a
quintessential German proponent of the woodblock, or
the “farbholzschnitt”. He was an art student in
Darmstadt, Dusseldorf and Hamburg. Around 1922 he
was taught the art of the woodblock by Professor von
Kalkreuths and it was soon discovered that his
technique and eye were exceptional. The outcome of
 this can be clearly seen in his woodblocks.
The majority of his works were of landscapes which
 had their own style, although he also created some
astonishingly jubilant floral woodcuts.
The compositions of these are almost Art Nouveau in
style, although it is hard to tell if this was intentional or
was merely a result of his studies.
