I remember asking a blind man if he felt he was missing out on life by not being able to see.
He started playing a classical tune on his guitar. When he was finished, he said, "That was beautiful, yes?"
"Yeah, sure," I said.
"Now close your eyes, I'll play again, and don't just hear the music... feel it."
It was amazing. I could feel the chords reverberating inside me. Pure magick.
That was when I learned a disability isn't a weakness. It's just finding strength where others fail to look.
After the rain, autumn’s end.
Happy weekend all!

I found this picture of my old, and only, #horse BC. He taught me to ride and moved to Kentucky with me when I started grad school. We were a pair for over 20 years until he passed away in Bluegrass country. I really miss him.

This sheela na gig is positioned next to the Watergate Bridge in the medieval walled town of Fethard in County Tipperary. It's certainly a striking looking example.
Ireland has a large number of these enigmatic figures. There has been much debate about their meaning, and you can hear a good discussion with Orla-Peach Power and Gary Dempsey on this episode of #AmplifyArchaeology Podcast:

Hey many new folks! This above is still my #introduction
Expect fantasy and sci fi concept art that I've done, my career has taken me to the world building at the begining of a lot of projects.
I'll mix traditional work from my real sketchbook and digital paintings.
Probably occasional smattering of travel photography and sparkly outfits.
Took my kid to the park over the summer and it only took a second, but he stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator... and vanished.
