The last image especially got me as my best friend had the 1st and 4th images in his living room until he died suddenly in 2022. They felt like a specific message and a hug from him 🥰
Fantastic collection, I couldn't pick one over the other. I adore the book, The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse, and 'Storms get tired too' and, of course, those 'other' senses, we are so much more than we can taste, smell, touch, see and hear. Thank you, Demi. 💛🤗💫
The big panda and the little dragon conversation reminded me very much of a passage from Alice's adventure through the looking glass. It arises from a Latin construction of the word for "now" in the past and future tenses, "iam" or, in our language with a j, we would often write "jam." But that is not the word for "now" in present tense, which is nunc. It lends some interesting aspects, methinks, to the translation from the Hebrew of God's self-description, "I am that I am." Anyway, here is Lewis Carroll riffing on the topic of how now:
"I'm sure I'll take you with pleasure!" the Queen said. "Two pence a week, and jam every other day."
Alice couldn't help laughing, as she said, "I don't want you to hire me – and I don't care for jam."
"It's very good jam," said the Queen.
"Well, I don't want any to-day, at any rate."
"You couldn't have it if you did want it," the Queen said. "The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday – but never jam to-day."
"It must come sometimes to 'jam to-day'," Alice objected.
"No, it can't," said the Queen. "It's jam every other day: to-day isn't any other day, you know."
"I don't understand you," said Alice. "It's dreadfully confusing!"
I think we get the word "yum" from the same bit of Latin. Now = iam => jam => yum
My dad brought back from his time in Europe during the second world war a number of very strange sayings. One was from the cook in his company, who would say, "It's steak yesterday and steak tomorrow, but it's never steak today."
Another strange saying was from the corporal who would drive dad around when they were going to the front. Seeing another driver who was taking things slow, the corporal would shout in a good Southron accent, "You drive that thing like a man with a papier-mâché asshole!"

The best of jams to thee, good lady.
