Each new day is a new ladder of possibilities. Keep climbing!

Hope every writer out there is finding the time to write, painters to paint, makers to make, and that the light is making a comeback against the dark.

The first daffodil is out in our garden.

Change for the better. πŸ–€

Through and through the inspired leaves,
Ye maggots, make your windings;
But, oh! Respect his lordship's taste,
And spare his golden bindings.

- Robert Burns, "The Book Worms", 1787

According to Cunningham Burns wrote this epigram in a volume of Shakespeare in a noble's library.

Sapho, I will choose to go
Where the Northern winds do blow
Endless Ice, and endless Snow;
Rather then I once wo'd see
But a winter's face in thee,
To benumb my hopes and me.

Robert Herrick, 'To Sapho' (1648)

πŸ–ΌοΈ Gustave Dore, 'Voyage to the Moon' (1868)

We're so happy that this mad project β€” described by one review as "Mike Oldfield on ketamine" β€” is reaching people.

Look out for a new episode of @threeravenspod.bsky.social out today where we discuss the ideas behind it...
