The moon is in it's first quarter. That usually means that i need to start thinking about the next issue of the Liminal that comes out every new moon.

Instead I'm counting spoons.

Here's a 1635 engraving of the moon from The Met instead.

Dolphin & Anchor drawing for my Festina Lente study on Constraint.

I flipped the dolphin so he was breaching while holding and moving against the anchor. The waves are a Greek motif pulling west, while the clouds are pushing east.

Next month will be the Snail Shell & Rabbit.

Bobo sun masks from Burkina Faso and Mali are round, carved-wood pieces with geometric rays symbolizing light, fertility, protection, and nature's cycles. In rituals, male dancers wear them to channel spiritual power. The Wanzega style's symmetry represents balance between sky, earth, and spirit.

This is one of our favorite family recipes. A deliciously aromatic take on a cold-weather classic: sweet potatoes baked in a buttery, maple-vanilla glaze with warming spices, finished with a hint of rosemary and sea salt for a subtle herbal note.

Waves rise and fall with ceaseless motion, surging with power and retreating into abyss. They envelop silently and erode that which seems immovable, blurring the boundary between the way things seem and the way they are.
