This photo was taken by the owner of the hive. The beekeeper forgot to put the frames in which the bees collect honey, and the bees built their own architecture from the honeycomb, which takes into account natural ventilation, so that the air can flow freely and maintain a stable temperature. This is the heart!💛

Roses in the Rain

Persephone insists she stay until it’s over. As they place the man’s picture in the wreath of her white roses at the altar, she thinks back to how many haughty clients she’s smiled through, how many demands she’s endured, the thankless nights and days doing what she loves. But here every memory is sung and cared for, every lily is a star piercing the dark, a hope against the inevitable, the inexorable.

Updated!

thepastelpriestess:

I like how Persephone went from “feared” to “greatly feared” in only a few sentences. We love that for her!

Also you’re telling me when I die I not only get to see Hermes but Cerberus is gonna greet me with his wagging tail and ears like a damn golden retriever excited to make a new friend?!?!? Dying sounds great!

MILLENIALS REACT TO STUMBLING HALF SLEEPING INTO THE NIGHT TO SINK THEIR HANDS INTO THE DARK EARTH

MILLENNIALS REACT TO HOW QUIET IT IS AT NIGHT HOW SLOW THEIR HEARTS BEAT

MILLENNIALS REACT TO RASING THE SOIL TO THEIR LIPS WITHOUT KNOWING WHY

MILLENNIALS REACT TO THE NIGHT SKY, TO THE CLOUD COVER, TO WHEN THEIR FATHER TOLD THEM HOW TO FIND ORIONS BELT

MILLENNIALS REACT TO THE FEELING OF COOL EARTH FALLING SLOW AND THICK DOWN THEIR THROATS

MILLENNIALS REACT TO RETCHING ON THE TASTE LIKE IRON AND ROT AND LEAFY GREEN VEGETABLES

MILLENNIALS REACT TO THE WELLING TEARS AND WONDER IF THE STARS COUNT AS WITNESSES

MILLENNIALS REACT TO THE LITTLE HOLE THEIR HANDS DUG AND HOW THEIR CHEEK FITS PERFECTLY INSIDE

MILLENNIALS REACT TO THE NIGHT AND WONDER IF SILENCE IS A JUDGEMENT AND IF THAT JUDGMENT IS KIND

Congratulations!!!

Thank you so much!!! And thank you so much for following along with me for so long ❤️

I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for more news! When will we get to see TGC cover art? Anything new about the show?

The cover for The Good Counselor is literally THIS || CLOSE to being done. I got a proof delivered from my graphic designer last night that’s close to the final version, and reader, it is spectacular.

News on the as yet untitled show based on Receiver of Many… they’re working out odds and ends, mostly budget considerations, and I too am in the ‘Wait’ portion of Hurry-Up-And-Wait after finishing a flurry of pre-development work on it last week. I’ve been getting regular updates and I’ll be literally shouting about it as soon as I get the green light to do so. But you’ll probably hear about it from {studio} via press release, first.

But THE COVER!! I personally can’t wait to reveal it.

And I’ll let you know how I’m revealing it as soon as I can.
