"The glacier knocks in the cupboard, The desert sighs in the bed, And the crack in the teacup opens A lane to the land of the dead."

-W.H. Auden

Eyes Open

"As if something out there seemed to take notice"

It's been a year since the Mothwing Collective came into the world, and our explorations of the bright side of the eerie are still going strong. To say more about what the bright eerie is, and what it means, is an ongoing project that will come in time, but for now, here (hopefully, for your pleasure) are more pictures. Never fear, our eyes are open and watching the horizon.

Spectral speculations.
"I dreamt I called you from the past."  

(And I did dream it, via some secret line from 1988 into now, and I told the story of all that happened between the times of your birth and mine, but when I woke up, I couldn't remember a word.)
Rearranging geometries and breaking invisible sightlines.

Fate hums along wires
Beacon, signal, silent invisible
Lunar lucidity
Hidden turnings. 
Lens flare as Aldebaran, striding across the star map. 

More mothwingy images next post. Count on it.

Dreaming in the real

Our first order of business for October will be fudging just a wee bit by posting this video snippet from the very end of September, as I watched the butterflies migrate down union street in the late afternoon.


The next order of business is to virtually drift through other lands with faraway friends, putting my own spin on dreaming in the real.

Unheard music, Mothwing style
Bright pause at the monastery gates, inspired by seeing my compatriot's Zettelkasten entry on my metaphysical maunderings regarding my time living near a Poor Clare Monastery
If you are looking for a sign, here it is. 
When Venus whispers into the ear of the sun.
The lovely thing about art is that it can be like dreaming out loud.

Terra Austeria

Earthbound August, pinned beneath the south winds. What else is there to do in this weather but dream of flying? 







A month of wings and sun and daylight moons.

With Wings


Spiraling like ancient knowledge

Everything hangs in a still eternal moment, like a pause between breaths. 

...

It was 6:30 in the evening or thereabouts, on April 22, 2019. I had an idea, took a breath, gathered my courage and set it whirling. It hasn't stopped yet.
