Markings

Isfahan, Naqsh-e Jahan

Humans are to a large extent materialist, constantly on the lookout for tangibles and signs. We make markings, insignias of origin and originality. Because we are afraid that we will be forgotten by those we care for. We seek solace in things that we can hold on to. Because we fear losing more than the loss. We have grown deaf to the unspoken word and blind to the intangible. A parcel arrived for me yesterday and its arrival made me smile. I am only human.
