Bonus #artAdventCalendar: For the first day of winter, it’s the myth of Persephone. This is a linocut of the Greek myth of Persephone. The ancient Greek goddess Persephone, beloved daughter of Demeter was kidnapped by Hades, god of the underworld, and taken to his home where she was tempted with many delicious items. The pomegranate proved the most irresistible and sealed her fate. 🧵

Scampoli d'autunno/ Autumn remnants 🍁🍑🍂

I walk among maple leaves and under branches where the last flaming shreds hang. A torrential rain has just stopped falling. On the ground, I see a pomegranate with pulp spilling out.
Low, light clouds flow quickly in front of tall cumulus clouds still heavy with stormy weather.
It is the materialization of my poetry.

Love is not about taking, it is about letting be. Paraphrasing Simone #Weil L'#amore non è un prendere, è un lasciar essere. Parafrasando Simone Weil 👇🍁🍑 Symbolically, for the last glimpse of autumn, I choose this open #pomegranate surrounded by maple leaves. An image dear to my #poetry, I would say an embodied image. Simbolicamente, per l'ultimo scorcio dell'autunno, scelgo questo melograno aperto attorniato dalle foglie di #acero. Immagine cara alla mia poesia, direi immagine incarnata.

While mowing the lawns today, I discovered a SECOND tiny #Pomegranate on the plant that for the last 6 years has done nothing. This year, it's over doubled in size and fruited! My excitement is out of this world.
#pomegranate (Punica granatum) is a fruit-bearing, deciduous shrub in the family Lythraceae, subfamily Punicoideae, that grows between 5 and 10 m (16 and 33 ft) tall. Rich in symbolic and mythological associations in many cultures, it is thought

Persephone's Oracle deck.

Like the Underworld journeys of Inanna and Persephone, a painful change that is forced upon us can liberate us by destroying a false sense of self and initiate our metamorphosis into a new, more empowered and authentic identity.

This is also part of autumn evenings.
