"A series of prominent British artists, cartoonists and illustrators have pledged to create artworks in British asylum centres after Robert Jenrick, the UK’s immigration minister, ordered Home Office staff to destroy murals designed to create a welcoming atmosphere at a UK detention centre."
Robert Jenrick ordered Home Office staff to censor art created to soothe asylum-seeking children, charity boss says
I will call down seven stars
that I may give each a secret.
To the first: my name for you in silence.
To the second: a metalwork flower.
To the third: a cat-eyed smile.
to the fourth: a verse without rhyme.
To the fifth: patience.
To the sixth: comfortable nothings.
To the seventh: some final ending.
I will call down seven stars for you
and circle them 'round your head in a crown.
Really enjoyed the latest #hiddenbrain pod, on which Dacher Keltner talks about happiness generated on “awe walks.” I didn’t call it that, but started sharing pics from these kinds of walks early in pandemic. These are all from March-May 2020. Keep an eye out for things that are beautiful, thought-provoking and catch your attention.
