ElleGray ,

this morning I was out-poetried by a sidewalk that had thoughts on pain, impermanence, resilience and beauty

@ElleGray I love how the alt txt gives us context on how you perceive the scene/image

@ElleGray it reminds me of Andy Goldsworthy’s work.
Some examples. But if you don’t know his work and you think this is beautiful you’d love his art and check more out.
he also deals with ideas around impermanence, the ephemeral, fragile, transformation, using nature and time. My most favorite artist.

@ElleGray I couldn't tell these were flowers in the timeline image and thought instead that Bobby Fingers had buried something here

@ElleGray The wound is the place where the light gets in. The cracks are the places where the flower petals gather.

One for you. Not nearly as eloquent as yours...

ElleGray OP ,

@wolfnowl oh that's really cool

@ElleGray It's almost as if someone was trying to bandage it together... 🤕

BTW, I'd suggest you title your image Kintsugi 🙂

@ElleGray i initially read this as "out-paretoed" and that's also beautiful in a very different way

@ElleGray man a dandylion growing in a sidewalk crack gets you the same effect. If it takes that, which is MUCH CLEARER to get that message, it's a pretty low bar.

ElleGray OP ,

@smolbean32 what a strange reply. You seem very unhappy. Your personality isn't helping things.

@ElleGray NYEHEHE YOU HAVE FALLEN PREY TO ONE OF MY TRICKS! I DID NOT CARE ABOUT THIS POST IN THE SLIGHTEST! MY ONLY GOAL WAS TO MAKE A STUPID REPLY TO WAST 5.7 SECONDS OF YOUR TIME! I WAS MERELY BORED OUT OF MY MIND AND DECIDED TO DO A BIT OF TOMFOOLERY! WITH A PURPOSEFULLY OUTRAGEOUS COMMENT I MANAGED TO CATCH YOUR ATTENTION! IN THIS WORLD IT'S WASTE TIME OR HAVE YOUR TIME WASTED! (Caps intended)

SteveJB ,

@ElleGray Thank you. I have to wonder how many of us would have had the presence of mind to recognize this.❤️
