Goodnight friends! A little cooler and more still today, heat and glistering light diffused by high thin clouds without being fully dimmed, giving the warmth a slightly close, smothering feel and the brightness of the flowers a faded dreamlike quality. Green alkanet blooming a blistering pure blue my phone camera completely fails to recognise. Spear-rows of reed mace leaves shooting up and up from shining water among the blanched, sagging wreckage of last year’s stems.
A curious side effect of making more local social connections in nervous fits and starts is that I semi-accidentally ended up spending a few hours today doing amateur design work for an upcoming queer event. Feeling entirely an imposter on multiple axes, but reminding myself that the doing and the helping is a big part of what counts.
May we hold spaces of listening, acceptance and compassoinate attention for each other in moments of doubt and struggle today!
