Coming back from a lengthy hiatus, Wild Violet is resuming a weekly schedule, because in these days of quarantine and self-isolation, we need the arts more than ever. This week’s contributors write about quiet moments, about connections with nature and with each other.
“Kindness” by Carole Phillips shows how a solitary moment becomes an opportunity for solace from a stranger.
“Where the Skin Breaks” by Raymond Philip Asaph ponders how the immutable beauty of a peach can become spiritual.
“Overcast evening” by Ayaz Daryl Nielsen, a haiku, captures the feel of a gray day.
“It’s early morning and nothing’s happening” by Ayaz Daryl Nielsen takes a glimpse out a window at a quiet world.
“Lessons” by Eliza Callard takes a tender look at an aging animal friend.
