EVENT 01: AN ART EXHIBITON.
Local artist Atticus Villanelle has prepared an exhibition dubbed Sapere Aude split into two sects to be displayed at the Hanging Arts Gallery and its adjacent companion, Frankenstein's House of Wax next door. Certain sections of both establishments have been roped off for the event.
The first section of the exhibition is a contemporary display of watercolor and photography pieces unfurling a story chronologically emulating the season of spring as it ruffles its feathers and reaches out from beneath the permafrost. The contemporary and thought-provoking watercolors of Mother Nature nurturing its vessels feature foxes sniffing from buttercups, chipmunks invocating aid to crack open nuts, and deer stamping through the snow for the sprigs of fresh plants. The photography depicts spring around various areas of the world: cherry trees bloom and their blossoms falling upon the Nikko Kaido Route, a cat bathing itself in the sunlight soaking through an open window in Mont-Saint Michel, a pair of snow cubs wrestling on the slopes of the Himalayas overlooking Nepal and more.
The second section in the House of Wax include pottery pieces hand-crafted from fire clay and glazed and waxen figures meticulously carved in the likeness of the macabre facets of the artist's imagination and manifestations. Examples of the latter could be observed from here and here of the presumptive waxen figures! The litany that has been set up in the wax museum alludes to the loneliness of winter and the despairing of the winter of darkness that tends to envelop Anchorage's latter seasons, as well as the depravity of humankind.
The event will include live violin players & servers will come around carrying platters of finger foods: charcuterie boards, petit fours, and choices between wine and non-alcoholic beverages.

K2 Gondogoro La Trek and Hunza Blossom Tours: A Journey Through Pakistan's Natural Splendor
Nestled in the heart of the Himalayas and Karakoram ranges, Pakistan is a land of awe-inspiring beauty, and few places capture its grandeur like the K2 Gondogoro La Trek and the Hunza Blossom Tours. These remarkable journeys through Pakistan's rugged terrain offer a unique blend of adventure and serenity, providing an unparalleled opportunity to explore the country's majestic landscapes, diverse cultures, and natural wonders. In this article, we will delve into the K2 Gondogoro La Trek and Hunza Blossom Tours, revealing the magic that awaits those who embark on these unforgettable adventures.
The K2 Gondogoro La Trek
Challenging the Earth's Second-Highest Peak
The K2 Gondogoro La Trek is a trekking route that ranks among the world's most thrilling and demanding. K2, the world's second-highest mountain, stands tall at 28,251 feet (8,611 meters) and lures intrepid trekkers and mountaineers from around the globe. The trek starts in the picturesque village of Askole and culminates at the K2 Base Camp, but it's the journey that leaves an indelible mark on every visitor.
The K2 Gondogoro La Trek spans approximately 65 miles (105 kilometers) and takes about 15 days to complete. Trekkers are rewarded with breathtaking views of the Karakoram Range and the grandeur of K2, which dominates the skyline throughout the journey. The challenging path meanders through glaciers, river valleys, and high mountain passes. Trekkers traverse challenging terrains, including the notorious Gondogoro La Pass at 18,510 feet (5,641 meters), which offers awe-inspiring panoramic vistas.
This journey allows trekkers to connect with the culture of the indigenous Balti people, who call these towering peaks home. Their warm hospitality and unique way of life offer an enriching cultural experience amid the remote wilderness.
Hunza Blossom Tours
Celebrating Spring in the Hunza Valley
In contrast to the rugged K2 Gondogoro La Trek, the Hunza Blossom Tours offer a more relaxed and nature-filled experience. The tour takes place during the spring season when the Hunza Valley bursts into a riot of colors as the cherry and apricot trees come into full bloom. This valley, often referred to as Shangri-La, is a hidden gem tucked away in the northern regions of Pakistan.
The tour typically starts from Islamabad and includes stops at enchanting destinations like Gilgit, Karimabad, and Passu. The Hunza Valley is famous for its terraced fields, crystal-clear rivers, and ancient forts. One of the most iconic landmarks in this region is the Baltit Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which offers insight into the rich history of the Hunza people.
Trekkers on the Hunza Blossom Tours can take gentle walks in orchards, explore historical sites, and engage with the warm and friendly locals, who are known for their vibrant traditions. The Hunza Valley offers a serene and spiritual experience, allowing travelers to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area.
Conclusion
The K2 Gondogoro La Trek and Hunza Blossom Tours are two exceptional journeys that showcase the diversity of Pakistan's landscape and culture. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie seeking the thrill of conquering the mighty K2 or a nature lover yearning to witness the enchanting spring blooms in the Hunza Valley, these tours offer something for everyone.
Both adventures are a testament to Pakistan's potential as a prime destination for adventure seekers and explorers. The country's untamed beauty, rich history, and welcoming communities make these tours a truly transformative experience. So, if you're ready to embark on a journey through the heart of the Himalayas and Karakorams, consider the K2 Gondogoro La Trek and Hunza Blossom Tours for a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Pakistan's natural splendor.

The Healing Power of Travel: Stories from the Road
In the age of rapid technological advancements and fast-paced lifestyles, the human spirit often yearns for respite. For many, travel offers an elixir—a chance to mend, grow, and rediscover oneself. The road, with its twists and turns, mirrors life's journey, teaching us invaluable lessons and offering moments of profound self-reflection. In this piece, we explore heartwarming tales of individuals who found solace, healing, and transformation through travel.
1. Amanda: Rebuilding after Loss
Following the sudden passing of her mother, Amanda felt anchored by grief. She decided to embark on a solo journey to Bali, a place her mother had always dreamt of visiting. Immersed in the island's serene beauty, from the lush terraced rice paddies of Ubud to the sacred temples of Uluwatu, Amanda began the process of healing. Lighting a candle in Besakih Temple, she felt a connection, a quiet acknowledgment of the bond that death could not sever.
2. Raj: Overcoming Depression in the Himalayas
Raj was trapped in the grueling cycle of corporate life, leading to deep-rooted anxiety and depression. Seeking escape, he ventured into the Indian Himalayas. Trekking through snow-clad peaks and meditating by serene monasteries, he experienced a profound inner calm. Nature, with its vastness and beauty, put his struggles into perspective, teaching him the art of mindfulness.
3. Isabella: Finding Independence in Europe
After a difficult breakup, Isabella embarked on a month-long backpacking trip across Europe. From navigating the streets of Paris to dancing flamenco in Spain, every challenge faced and hurdle overcome made her more self-reliant. The journey was a testament to her resilience and capability, qualities she had forgotten she possessed.
4. Samuel: Connecting to Roots in Ghana
Born in London to Ghanaian parents, Samuel had always felt a disconnect from his African heritage. A trip to Ghana changed everything. He met long-lost relatives, immersed himself in local festivals, and learned the traditional kente weaving technique. Travel provided a bridge, connecting him to his roots and instilling a sense of identity.
5. Clara: Embracing Change in Japan
Post-divorce, Clara felt a deep void in her life. She chose to visit Japan during cherry blossom season, symbolizing life's ephemerality. Strolling under the pastel sakura canopies and participating in hanami (flower-viewing) picnics, she found solace in the Japanese philosophy of mono no aware—a deep appreciation of fleeting moments. It taught her to embrace change rather than resist it.
6. David: Battling Addiction on the Camino de Santiago
David, grappling with substance addiction, took the challenging pilgrimage route, the Camino de Santiago, in Spain. Every step on the 500-mile trail was a step towards recovery. The camaraderie of fellow pilgrims and the cathartic act of walking gave him the strength to overcome his demons.
7. Aisha: Rediscovering Love in Istanbul
Aisha's faith in love was shattered after a betrayal. A solo trip to Istanbul, the city straddling two continents, became her turning point. Amidst the amalgamation of cultures, she encountered tales of age-old romances and shared stories with strangers over Turkish tea. These encounters breathed life into her belief in love, showcasing its multifaceted, enduring nature.
8. Alejandro: Facing Fears in New Zealand
Haunted by a paralyzing fear of water since childhood, Alejandro confronted his phobia in New Zealand. Encouraged by Maori legends of resilience, he took the plunge, snorkeling in the azure waters of the Abel Tasman National Park. It was a victory not just over fear but over past traumas that had held him captive.
Conclusion
Travel, in its essence, is transformative. As seen in these stories, it's more than just visiting destinations; it's about inner journeys, growth, and evolution. Every road taken, every mountain scaled, and every river crossed has the potential to heal wounds, mend broken spirits, and ignite dormant passions.
For anyone seeking solace or a fresh start, perhaps it's time to pack a bag, lace up those shoes, and hit the road. Remember, in the words of an anonymous traveler, "Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer." So, enrich your soul, find your story, and let the healing power of travel guide you towards light. Safe journeys!

an infinite list-in-progress of all the little things which make me smile
cherry blossoms gifted by @chilling-seavey
a drabble of a poem by @the-girl-who-cried-wolf which I really love
little interactions
comfort fics
The night florence and daniel meet - from the Anything But Mine universe, one of the many exceptional worlds written by the talented and humble @chilling-seavey. This is one of my favourite (if not, my favourite) stories of two people crossing paths for the first time.
Chapter 20 of Seasons Change by @chilling-seavey - specifically this one line “Just thinking; what a gift to have the opportunity to fall in love twice.” *MELTS INSIDE*- and most of the chapters to be honest, one of the few books I have genuinely bawled my eyes out to.
I think there's something you should know - a story of two friends, Daniel and Delilah; written by an incredible artist and writer @stuffofseaveyy. I have a soft spot in my heart for this one.
@jonahlovescoffee wrote this little something for me 🥺 and it’s really the sweetest thing ever :’)
His Muse written by @jonahlovescoffee. Literally the softest most fluffiest writing ever. This is easily one of my favorites after “better together”.

Landscapes of Literature: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Tucked away in a pleasant, residential neighborhood, not too far away from Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is Longfellow House-Washington's Headquarters National Historic Site.
Each spring, lilacs bloom on the hedges surrounding Longfellow House-Washington's Headquarters National Historic Site (NPS).
This site preserves an elegant house which served as headquarters for General George Washington during the Siege of Boston and as the home of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 -1882), one of the most famous American poets of the 1800s. For 45 years, Longfellow lived here with his family in the Georgian style mansion, looking out upon picturesque estate grounds that included a formal garden, woodland walk, lilacs, elm trees at the front of the house, a view to the Charles River, and outbuildings like the carriage house.
River! that in silence windest
Through the meadows, bright and free,
Till at length thy rest thou findest
In the bosom of the sea!
Four long years of mingled feeling,
Half in rest, and half in strife,
I have seen thy waters stealing
Onward, like the stream of life.
Thou hast taught me, Silent River!
Many a lesson, deep and long;
Thou hast been a generous giver;
I can give thee but a song.
Oft in sadness and in illness,
I have watched thy current glide,
Till the beauty of its stillness
Overflowed me, like a tide.
-- excerpt from “To the River Charles” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, in Ballads and Other Poems (1842)
While in residence, he published eleven poetry collections, two novels, several plays, three epic poems, including Paul Revere's Ride, The Village Blacksmith, Evangeline, The Song of Hiawatha, and notable translations such as Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy.
The Formal Garden
Longfellow and his daughter, Alice, shared an interest in landscape architecture, represented by the formal grounds, including a garden on the northeast end of the property which they carefully designed over time. Longfellow imported a variety of exotic evergreen trees from as far as the Himalayas, Northern Europe, and Oregon with help from renowned botanist Asa Gray.
In 1847, he sought the assistance of landscape architect Richard Dolben to create a new designed garden. Following Longfellow’s death, the formal garden was renovated by his daughter to its current Colonial Revival layout in 1904-05 and 1925.
In 2005-06, the garden was restored based on historical documentation in the site’s archives, largely based on the earlier 1925 rehabilitation by noted landscape architect Ellen Shipman. A large European linden stands in the east lawn toward the rear of the house, where this garden remains on the footprint of the original 1847 design.
Formal garden, looking northwest toward arbor. Wheelchair is visible in garden with occupant (possibly Alice Longfellow, 1888-1928), ca. 1904-C1928. The arbor was added by Martha Brookes Hutcheson (1904) and removed (1932/34). (National Park Service / Longfellow House Washington's Headquarters, LONG 7503).
Expressions
From the time that he first starting renting two rooms on the house’s second floor, the letters and journals of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow expressed that the history and character of the grounds were a source of both pleasure and inspiration for him.
In one journal entry, he writes, “How glorious these Spring mornings are! I sit by an open window and inhale the pure morning air, and feel how delightful it is to live! Peach, pear and cherry trees are all in blossom together in the garden.” [1]
Later, in an 1843 letter to his father, Longfellow described the past and future of the landscape:
We have purchased a mansion here, built before the Revolution, and occupied by Washington as his Headquarters when the American Army was at Cambridge. It is a fine old house and I have a strong attachment from having lived in it since I first came to Cambridge. With it are five acres of land. The Charles River winds through the meadows in front and in the rear I yesterday planted an avenue of Linden trees, which already begin to be ten or twelve feet high. I have also planted some acorns and the oaks grow for a thousand years, you may imagine a whole line of little Longfellows, like the shadowy monarchs of Macbeth, walking under their branches for countless generations, “to the crack of doom,” all blessing the men who planted the oaks.[2]

Longfellow Summer Festival
If you find yourself in Cambridge on a summer day, celebrate the history of the cultural landscape and contemporary poets and creators at the annual Longfellow Summer Festival. The festival, a tradition nearly as old as the park itself, brings music and poetry alive at the Longfellow House on Sunday afternoons through August.
