Choices & Connections - the Game of Life
Materialized by Angela Mihm on Thursday, March 20th 2025.
Life may seem to be a sequential path of progress. But each decision can lead in a variety of directions. Forward, backward, sideways. Toward connections with others or away from them. One thing we all share: we begin and, inevitably, we cease.
Angela Mihm is a self-taught artist who plays with acrylics, paint pens, gouache, found images, painted papers, and digital (non-AI) art. Angela uses her art to share her irreverent and imperfect perspective with others. Angela is actively preparing for a group art show in Albuquerque, NM in May 2025. Her art and Make-Your-Own-Monster craft kits will soon be available at HueandHumor.com.

We’re mooing and braying with laughter, moving in slo-mo, such fun. His little jeans, his striped t-shirt over his drumlike child’s tummy.
The Day of the Great Release
Jessica Richardson
Sometimes this terrified love swooped inches from your face, and you wondered if it would peck your eyes out. Who kept these birds? Why did they?

one out of season morning, we went out looking for a name. We did not know where names make their lairs, whether they favour rock, dirt, twigs, or wires.
Skyberries

If Erd can translate either “Earth” or “ground,” does German also have one single word for English “sky” and “Heaven”?
