A few months ago I had in mind to create a calendar with landscape photographs I’ve taken throughout 2024 but my work schedule made it impossible to see the project come to light. It would be too late to do it now in time for 2025 but here is the selection I had in mind. Feel free to add your own photograph and send it in return instead of a Christmas or a New Year card. Maybe a photograph that represents your 2024 or your hope for 2025.
Have a Happy Winter Season! La Multi Ani!
Maria Stadnicka
prayer for rechargeable batteries
and fastness and coffee mornings
for raffle tickets and crisp stereo sound
for power banks and batch cooking
prayer for beer-tapas at my local pub
and for average speed limits
for goodenoughness at school reunions
and metastatic anonymity online
prayer for microphones and bespoke
for three-in-one and all other numerals
for Karen from Home Deliveries
and her quick recovery from sick leave
prayer for perhaps and passwords
for stopping mid-sentence and for
everything else that is temporary
apart from betrayal
prayer for scissors and for the frontal cortex
and for a long-distance relationship
with my past life
