A Sublime Sunday enjoying the Fogbound sea and drawing Emily Dickinson

Today's rather short video is my attempt to capture the wonderful sound of the foghorns we hear when the fog sets in. We start out in a woodland walk earlier in the week, when the sun was out, the sky brillant blue and the soft pine and bare limbed decidous trees made a dance in the wind.

I was able to capture the foghorn so as a treat to myself (and hopefully to you, but one hopes to be indulged) to read 2 Emily Dickinson poems as we watch the grey sea, listen to the soft rain and the distant moan of the fog horn.

I've complete this week the final black and white ink of my Emily Dickinson sketch I shared last week. I love to work in black and white using only the black to define a character (no midtones or shading in the final piece) wiht the stark contrast of the white of the page to the black of the drawing. I'm happy with our dear Emily and think she fits with my previous Virginia Woolf.

I'm making it a year long process to keep making the lovely ladies of literature and in my other social medias I've got a good list of suggestion of such ladies, as well as my own wish list. I might be sketching Vita Sackville-West next, a favorite write of mine ,both fiction but more so her garden writings. Her home in Kent has one of my favorite gardens in England.

Today's #SublimeSunday is then one to sit and contemplate the stillness of life, especially a fog-bound day when one feels all of the world is but a mystery that has been erased: Was it ever there? Have we beeen, thus, single actors in our own drama?

A wise man once said 'all the world is a stage' and today, in our post modern world, it can feel a very true statement indeed. So, act out your day to yourself or your small audience with joy and make it a comedy or reflective drama, sometimes it's easier to look inward than out , if even just for a #SublimeSunday, Monday will always open up the vast world to all of us to current events, so let's today imagine how small our little world can be and fill it with joy and contemplation.

I hope you have a #SublimeSunday and a good day all round and remember to stay creative.
