Sailing into the sunset

At the start of this year, I received an amazing present from my brother-in-law, Stephen Greenfield. Even the box was astonishing! It was all papered in gold, and there was someone sitting on top of it…

ANUBIS.

And what was inside?

A ship!

And not just any ship, but an ancient Egyptian ship. Pharaoh’s ship. Ra’s ship.

Stephen designed and built it himself, right up to and including the scarab

Quotes by Amy Butler Greenfield (?)

“Maybe I couldn't stop other people from judging me, but I could stop looking to them for approval. Maybe most people would never be able to accept me for who I really was - not the broadside makers, not the Court gossips, not even Nat - but I didn't have to follow suit.
I could still decide to accept myself.”
― Amy Butler Greenfield, Chantress Fury

“Fifteen feet away, the wide River Thames rolled past, dark and deep and mysterious is the sullen-not-quite sunrise.”

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others”
― Martha Graham
