framed in masks...

Shakespeare's world
so many realities
framed in masks

📷In May 2012, my Year 9 students made masks - in response to Shakespeare's play 'Romeo and Juliet. I was fascinated with their thoughts. But one mask still haunts me - the black one with white tears, made by a blind girl. pic.twitter.com/RyzLNktJov

in praise of Loreena McKennitt...

I live in regional Temora, NSW, Australia. I have handed in my driver's licence, as I am prone to panic attacks these days...so transport is a problem. I can never see your concerts. But just the names of the venues alone transport me to magic. They suit the wonder of your music.

perception/reflection...

Perception/reflection can be a positive foundation for inner strength, inner resilience and a sense of vision.
It all can begin with childhood contexts... https://t.co/EsGtqjxTiy
