Etude No. 1 (Midnight)

"That summer all the world 
was soul and water, light glancing off peaks." - Michael Simms.

Soul & Water

To The Sea, To The Sea

“For many years, I have been moved by the blue at the far edge of what can be seen, that colour of horizons, of remote mountain ranges, of anything far away. The colour of that distance is the colour of an emotion, the colour of solitude and of desire, the colour of there seen from here, the colour of where you are not. And the colour of where you can never go. For the blue is not in the place those miles away at the horizon, but in the atmospheric distance between you and the mountains.

“Longing,” says the poet Robert Hass, “because desire is full of endless distances.” Blue is the colour of longing for the distances you never arrive in, for the blue world.” ― Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost.

“The whole culture is telling you to hurry, while the art tells you to take your time. Always listen to the art.” — Junot Díaz.
