Goodnight friends! Another grey start dissolving into pastel pale afternoon blue, less roiling winds so a slower and more partial transition, towering ice cream scoop cumulus still looming on the horizon. Recent damp bringing a resurgence of life in vivid splashes, rich ochre mushrooms and lush fractal rosettes of swelling ragwort.

Struggling to get more active in a middling, careful way – having been able to give myself a taste of it I feel an urge to go all in. I want to be more consistently involved and actively creative in my life again. It didn’t work for the long term in the past and it wasn’t working recently, but those simmering moment when it seems to be are always a rush. Aiming to be still yet conscious and present, much easier to write than do.

May we find and embrace moments of breathing and comfortable stillness today!
