Untitled - abstract paintings by Oliver Vivian
From the Community
I remember when I met Ollie (I stalked him into his studio from the café across the road, where some of his paintings were being displayed), he showed me his works in progress.
He said to me: “You have to be patient and wait, and see what the paint wants to do next.”

Let There Always be Light - a poem by Rebecca Elson
From the Internet
Let There Always Be Light (Searching for Dark Matter) For this we go out dark nights, searching For the dimmest stars, For signs of unseen things: To weigh us down To stop the universe From rushing on and on Into its own beyond Till it exhausts itself and lies down cold, Its last star going out. Whatever they turn out to be, Let there be swarms of them, Enough for immortality, Always a star where we can warm ourselves. Let there be enough to bring back From its own edges, To bring us all so close that we ignite The bright spark of resurrection. - Rebecca Elson
I came across this poem most recently on the Substack called Found Poems, written by Sana Rao - Issue 29.
If you like Three Things Weekly, I think you’ll enjoy her newsletter. Certainly, I find connection and inspiration when I receive these curations from others.

On Human Experience - a quote from Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
From the Internet
“You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.”
