Graphic typewritten quote: “I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: Where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as i fall asleep.” SONNET XVII Pablo Neruda

Once
I stood by the sea
exuberant embrace
washed over me

Once
I stood by a river
mournful peacock cry
a reminder

Once I stood
by your side

We embark on
tenacious journeys
Love never tells
when it’s leaving

And so it begins! Fall is upon us, with trees changing and temperatures dropping. And hopefully the end of wildfire season as well!

Black Cat Looking Straight Ahead by contemporary Japanese artist Toshiyuki Enoki (born 1961).
Positioned squarely in the center of a heavily textured, antiqued golden ground, a jet-black cat sits in erect, motionless composure, staring directly out at the viewer. Its dense dark coat is rendered with meticulous, micro-fine brushwork, giving tactile softness to the chest and ears while contrasting sharply against the coarse, woven grain of the underlying substrate. Two large, luminous amber eyes—framed by thin golden irises and wide, dilated pupils—glow with unblinking intensity, serving as the sole vibrant point of light within the ink-dark silhouette. At the base, a single tail curls smoothly outward across the muted canvas, while in the lower left corner, a bright vermilion and yellow circular seal bearing the artist's mark anchors the lower register. Painted by contemporary artist Toshiyuki Enoki (born 1961), this work continues Japan’s long-standing painterly fascination with feline mystery, drawing a direct lineage from Hishida Shunshō’s iconic 1910 Nihonga masterpiece Black Cat (Kuroki Neko) and the whimsical cats of Utagawa Kuniyoshi. Enoki, trained in traditional Nihonga (Japanese-style painting) techniques, silk painting, and lacquer restoration, employs a distinctive technique involving natural mineral pigments (iwanogu), gold leaf, and layered glazes on textured canvas or hemp paper. His unique monozukuri (artisanal mastery) fuses traditional Japanese material culture with surreal, otherworldly sensibilities, transforming a domestic subject into a timeless, talismanic icon that feels both ancient and modern.
