2026 ٩( ᐛ )و

HAPPY NEW YEAR and welcome to 2026. Can you believe it? Another year has passed and now we're entering the next half of the decade. I hope that you can find peacefulness, care for your loved ones, and fill this year with lasting and kind memories.

I don't have any resolutions or goals exactly, but I do know that I want to spend as much time doing things that bring me peace as possible, especially in the company of my family and community.

Also...welcome to my blog! This will be my home base on the internet instead of social media. Throughout this year you can expect videos and images in the Feed as well as longer Posts as I publish them. You can sign up to the RSS at the bottom of the page for updates too.

I'll be posting the first article next Friday, and in it I'm taking you back. Way back. To what I would consider to be my first art series.

Until then, stay warm, have a good first week of the year.

Hour after hour, day by day, night after night . . . on and on fell the snow, ceaseless as the conveyor belt in a Ford factory. Endlessly, softly it fell, with a jingle as of tin on the wood floors, falling on the branches if roadside trees, on mailboxes, on empty swallows' nests, on roofs, on roads, on sewers, down manholes, on streams, on railway bridges, on tunnel entrances, on fields, on birdhouses, on charcoal burners' lodges . . . ― Kōbō Abe, The Life of a Poet
