mark this as a place where one spark landed

it is because of alexandra that, i suppose, i actually have a blog.

shortly after meeting her (we have, luckily enough, several mutual
friends- all of them utterly marvelous folk) i found her blog.

shortly after finding her blog i taught an art class and thought it
would be fun to track our projects on blogger (that lasted about
8 weeks; this one has lasted a bit longer). shortly after all of that
i thought a blog about children's books would be a fine idea.

&
now, some years later, i often wander back to alexandra's work and
find, in it and always, the reason her vision lit the spark that led to-

well, led to something else altogether (for me). it is with certainty
that i say that her clear and beautiful eye- and her ability to share
her gifts with the rest of the world- will continue to add light. and
that light grows always brighter, just as good & generous sparks do.

a purpose which made him look towards the distant skies with hope

artists help japan

Having slept in a boat at Suma and Akashi, and having watched the sunrise over the island of Awaji, our master carried his staff to join Noin at Kisagata, Kenko in the mountains of Kiso, Saigyo at Futami, Jyakuren at Mount Kova, Sogi and Socho in the province of Echigo and Kensai at his cottage in Shirakawa. These people were long dead, but to our master, they were alive, and their living images invited and urged him to visit them. In short, even in his wanderings, our master had a purpose which made him look towards the distant skies with hope.
