Goodnight friends! Meadows awash with gently waving pink pom-pons of creeping thistle, orange and brown butterflies meandering down narrow avenues between thickets of head-high grass and vetch and willowherbs. Nearly as hot as yesterday and a little cloudier, breezes more fitful, air taking on a heavier more palpable texture. Wary of the damp local woodlands until I have some mosquito repellent, but even a few steps beneath the branches summons up the numinous feeling of a hushed, glowing cathedral.
Got through a half hour of exercise but it was tough going, breathless and half-soaked in sweat by the end, even out of the sun. The faint warning throb of an incipient headache was with me.most of the rest of the day, hard to keep up the right balance of fluids and salt after all that effort I’m guessing. Did manage a bit of idle drawing in the afternoon, encouraged that I’m feeling the creative itch a little.
May we find drive and ambition to learn, improve and grow today!
