Lovely, as always. Reminds me of Berger: "“Animals are born, are sentient and are mortal. In these things they resemble man.”

We are also awash with deer, have grown quite fond of them though *our* Berger cannot abide them ...

Weighty reflections...and how short we are. Of true leaders who can reflect on such dilemmas with sincerity and accommodate us all in comforting meanings

These deer paintings are beautiful. And so is everything in this piece. <3

कितने दिनों के बाद गली में आज चाँद निकला .. Eid is still a few days away .. Easter a little further away but the deers, they are close by. Heartbeats are what brings us closer — I agree with Mikko, you cannot ignore the closeness doesn't matter the distance.
