Goodnight friends! There’s still a lingering feeling of strength and stamina not regained since my last relapse, I keep trying to get back to my exercise form from a few weeks back and consistently there’s something missing – weakening faster, taking longer to achieve less. Hoping that bit by bit I can regain ground. In the meantime, some of that frustration and leftover stamina went into drawing, a little mindless but fun.

Much clearer and dryer today, a soft but continual wind lifting up and sweeping clouds along, soaring snowdrifts, carp scales and clawed Hokusai wavecrests of spiralling white curls surging across the blue, silvery ripples as twisting willow leaves reveal their pale undersides.

May we find a sense of open-hearted acceptance and serentity today!
