Sometimes the embrace of another human being can make all the difference, and this I mean in every sense of the word.

Dear Reader, there are those encounters in life with certain souls, emanating a certain gentleness and beauty, which only can be sufficiently explained by angelic intervention.

Alright, I’ll keep to the floral prints this summer.

Grandmas were so right about puzzles and knitting and crocheting and solitaire and reading slow and slippers and baking and watching deer in the backyard send post

Dear Reader, an update, if you will.

If my silence here has been noticed and if my presence has been missed, please accept my apologies as I have been occupied with moving house during the greater part of the past several weeks.

It is tiring, and personal troubles have only exacerbated my exhaustion. Daily is my wish for some respite and only in fleeting moments and chance encounters do I find such temporary comfort.

I fear what I now feel, supplanting the anxiety of old, is what is called “resignation.”

I am resigned to simply going about daily tasks and chores, not expecting or even wanting more than this tiresome existence. I find my own lack of faith disturbing, and my purpose to be no more than a heap of refuse.

Crude and repulsive as these sentiments may be, they are genuine, and that—for a man of the sentimental sort—is distressing, to say the least.

I hope to give better word in the near future but for now, take good care, and be well, friends—M

Dear Reader, I had a pretty crummy community day yesterday but just after that I found Kecleon, which made up for everything.

Here are two closeups of the leaves. Forgive the dust on the second one, I haven’t had the chance to dust them yet.

Greetings, Dear Reader,

An update if you will.

Firstly, I hope the New Year has ushered you in good health and well-being. May the year be filled with good things for you.

I wanted to share these photos I recently took of the new plants I acquired—two different Calathea species, one Calathea Makoyana, the other Calathea warscewiczii.

The former (in the first photo) is a tall and lush specimen, often referred to as the Peacock Calathea, or Cathedral Windows. The second, with the darker, more subdued foliage, has the softest leaves I’ve ever felt on a houseplant, which is, I’m sure, why it’s often called Jungle Velvet.

I’m hoping the warmer and more humid conditions in the new apartment are conducive to keeping these plants in prime condition. I hope too, that the warscewiczii will grow as tall as the other, since it seems it has the capacity to do so under the right conditions.

Take care and be well, my friends—M
