I was playing with ideas for a cover for this fantastic book and quite liked this one.

I don't know if you ever saw a man take another man in his arms but if you haven't I can tell you it is a touching sight. Because men are fixed to be so cold and brave, in their eyes.

A Thousand Moons by Sebastian Barry

you can’t rain down your negativity on me, your storm of doubt won’t come crashing through my mind, your winds of fear cannot & won’t ever penetrate through my triple glazed windows of courage.

I’m made of solid gold, & blessed with strength no man can twist & bend to try & push through to break me down. when I speak, my words pour into your soul like honey into warm tea. when I walk, my feet make sounds of hymns & scriptures that cause earthquakes in hell & let’s Satan know “I’m still here, & I’m still going.”

& I’ll keep going.

please tag artist if known 💫

He had been a man that knew a hundred songs but they had fallen silent in him.

When you hold a person in high regard it is a great pleasure just to gaze on them, just to look at them moving through the normal air of a day, just to notice how they have a habit of this or that, the turn of a hand or how maybe the person, this person that you revere, turns up their chin, or raises their arms to put a tie on their hair.

A high cold sky was speckled with stray blues and greys like a bird's egg. But a reluctant sunlight was trying to measure the height of the sky with long thin veins.
