Goodnight friends! Grey skies darker and thicker, and a thicker, clammier kind of coolness gathering along with them, wind weak and fitful. Clumps of thistles like bushels of fresh paintbushes, tightly packed tufts of pale down jutting from the tips of their seedpods, occasionally exploding into great hanks of loose wool caught on their own spines. Parades of mallards, ducklings mostly dark brown now and half as big as their parents, leave furrows in ghostly, feathery green swirls of waterweed just beneath the grey water.
Caught an extra hour of sleep and felt much fresher, hoping to follow through on this momentum and gradually ease my schedule back, hour by hour towards midnight. A little drawing again, and a bit of overdue reorganisation of files and finances etc, the kind of stuff that dissolves into ever-worse mess and chaos if I try to handle it when I’m too groggy.
May we find time, space and energy today to lay the groundwork for ongoing success and contentment!
