As bombs have been falling across the Middle East, I’ve been re-reading Etel Adnan, Lebanese-American poet and painter, especially her book The Arab Apocalypse.
At the same time I have returned to her paintings, which I first encountered at Documenta 13 in 2012. These paintings are small, yet they offer expanses of color and light that fill the eye and lift the spirit.
I thought you might like to see them too.

Nice to see a UK party leader demonstrate some actual compassion and care this Christmas. I'm so fed up with politicians pedaling hate and division trying to pander to terrible racism and xenophobia, trying to pick up the votes of the hateful.
This is what political leadership really is. Not following the right wing media hatred but countering it.
