Some of the words I first uncovered here find themselves in new form accompanying an image that arose from my journey through nature.
I publish a still, sepia photograph of a magical hidden place of furtive gatherings and gothic legend.

Online comments are a means of engagement and allow visitors to express themselves and view the opinions of others. Most leave their remarks using pseudonyms that conceal their identity: their words carry little weight. What is left is often a means to provoke and inflame rather than build understanding.
When I experience content online I try to think about what I come across carefully. Online comments have a tendency of impeding independent thought, and provide ill-considered voice to the impulsive.
I think of and experience music as an art form that does not in itself have meaning. Music can be accompanied by meaningful expressions and associations, for example, a title or narrative. Music can also be personally significant in that it evokes emotion and satisfaction of form, texture and tone, but music is not a language: if I listen to music without words it continues to affect me with all its strength.
When I experience nature I sense that same absolute beauty, remote from the influence of meaning.
William Shakespeare
