Week word- Lacuna

Week word- LACUNA (so sorry I am late, busy holiday week!)

-an unfilled space or interval; a gap

-a cavity or depression, especially in a bone.

- a missing portion in a book or manuscript

I love the derivatives of this word and how they sound-

lacunal- adj.

lacunary-adj

lacunate- adj.

lacunose-adj.

There is something about an unfilled space that often calls for filling it in...

or constructing it to do so...

sometimes Lacunae? Lacunas? are cozy and fun

sometimes essential...

they can feel safe....

they can protect...

sustain life....

become remnants....

There is something beautiful, maternal or womblike even, about this word (to me... it is the way I want to see/feel/interpret it.) Thank you Carmen for a great word.

Remnants...

Glory days gone?

I'm not so sure now as I look harder

Painting a bit... maybe a series

futzing and wandering, wandering and futzing

messing with the sewing machine (trying to learn how to use it)
