April Naive Folk Art Spring Celebration Poster

The calendar picture for April: tree of Life, a whole forest of them. Red eggs, palm fronds and willow catkins. We all are children playing our games and the Universe is playing with us. A few years ago I stumbled upon an interview with A.J. Jacobs who wrote "The Year of Living Biblically" and thought it was an odd idea. I am not into the Bible, but I was thinking of an idea of a #calendar as a tool for relating better to other people (who celebrate or celebrated), myself and the world. I don't know what tomorrow brings but I will know the flavour. Currently I am not including any major commemorations of wars, dieses and genocides. Unless we are princes and princesses living in walled palaces where every our desire is met, we all know what suffering is. I don't feel we need additional reminders, but maybe I will change my mind later. It's likely that if I carry on with this in 2024 the calendar will change significantly, including the pictures. You can't live one year twice. A calendar. A ceremony. A pure fantasy. By Alexandra Cook aka Linandara.
