Canada (February, 2021) – It's been a rather chaotic time period, most of the world is in some kind of lockdown. Here the winter freeze has elongated the sense of isolation. A melancholic feeling has been permeating my spirit; knowing almost a year has passed without any real escape from the reality which presents itself. Over the last couple days; I find myself inspired by the icicles dripping in the mid-afternoon sun, blissfully ignoring that which does not bring peace.
