RE: Time; Strip Mining; Humans and Nature: Three Collages for LMAC #182

My dear friend @quantumg,

What a wonderful comment☀️. I don't know what it was about the template that so strongly suggested time to many of us, but it's something we felt instinctively. My time collage was that kind of response. Except for the hourglass (which was perfect!), the elements were not literal. I'm very happy you felt what I felt when I made the piece.

As for Borges, he is brilliant. I personally believe he inspired a generation of Latin American writers specifically, and writers around the world generally. He sort of put down the foundation for magical realism in Latin America. His exploration of time is typical for his unique (though not unique anymore because many people have copied him) world perspective. If you haven't read him, I know he is widely available in German. He was fluent in German, English and French and actually translated from those languages into Spanish.

Keeping my fingers crossed that the beautiful new house crosses your path very soon

🌼

We are looking at a house today that has great possibilities and is reasonably priced. Thank you for crossing your fingers. Hope it works out because this is wearying😇

Thanks very much for your encouragement--every time I get it right (in your estimation), I go forward to the next piece with more confidence.

Have a great week

Warm regards,
AG
