This week Albatz Travel Adventures (Elizabatz) invites photographers to offer examples of diptych, two images placed in proximity to one another, forming a pair. She notes: “to make a successful pairing there should be several things in common, and something very different, contrasting”.






I wish to thank Elizabeth for introducing me to the word diptych. Earlier this week, I also became acquainted with the word, polyglots, “individuals who can speak several languages – usually having a grasp of at least somewhere between 3-5 languages.
Words written within ancient history seem to be a timeless knitting of souls as they flow through time.

I imagine poets of old listening to how their translated words resonate today and then chuckle at words defining lives unknown. Oh…unheard whisperings of ancients.

The sweet smell of the south wind can calm the tempers of my people.
The sweet rain of the south wind can nourish the grain-fields of my people.
