Goodnight friends! Brighter and a little warmer too, the air still and warm and abuzz with grasshoppers and bees. Silver wing flash and hoarse shriek of gulls as they harassed a hawk high up in the dizzy, empty blue. Little green left in the long grass, everything dry and coarse and hissing a little at my passage. Haws and bryony berries swelling and darkening in the hedges.

A bit shattered after my busy start to the week, more morning sunlight in my living room camping out spot not ideal either. Feeling hazy, thoughts dissolving and body insubstantial and slack. Slowl, carefully trying to just let myself rest and drift along – without making any decisions or doing anything that puts myself at risk.

May we embrace the eccentricities that make our perspectives unique and precious today!
