I truly dig the way you describe people/faces/clothes/objects.

Utter perfection. So…restrained, so…still. And yet deliciously tantalizing, with deep undercurrents that draw a reader in. I love it.

RG, this is beautiful! Just exactly right — begins and ends perfectly, just so balanced… I also really like your semi-hidden images, like how Lida’s hair is an “echo of the dark” — because that’s exactly what the wind makes of things. So great!

By the way, the first thing I thought of when seeing the title and image was “Minging the Vase”. Second thing was that the image was not, in fact, a vase of that type, but first impressions have a power.

Yes. Yes I could see that *that* situation would be slightly more intimidating.

Perhaps I pick the wrong words. You present stories of a type and in a manner (and apparent ease) that makes one want to strive. I feel positively neolithic by comparison. But then both rudimentary pieces and the best artisanship do sometimes have their places in the exhibition halls.
