Irrelevance

For today’s Daily Create, as I sit watching the rain and waiting for Storm Dave, I added rain and snow effects to the image.

Text Weave

Posted on 3rd April 2026 by NomadWarMachine

For today’s TDC, as it is Good Friday, I chose a passage from Nietzsche:

“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?”  Nietzsche Die Fröhliche Wissenschaft, 125

I live my life as a …?

Posted on 26th March 2026 by NomadWarMachine

I am busy this week, and wishing I could switch off all of my work notifications and hide. So here’s my response to today’s TDC.

I live my life as a …?

If I lived my life as a cat
I could sleep all day, curled up on my mat

If I lived my life as a frog
I could hide away quietly, safe in a bog

If I lived my life as a bird
I could nest in a bush, unseen and unheard

But if I lived my life as a snail
I could try to hide, but I’d leave a trail

The Feeling of Silence

Posted on 25th March 2026 by NomadWarMachine

A poem for TDC5185

Silence is:

Watching the reflections of clouds dance over a calm loch

Sniffing petrichor through an open window after rain

Unsalted butter spread thickly on a toasted crumpet

And clean cotton sheets on a summer night
