Goodnight friends! Another inviting day, feeling even warmer than it was thanks to the syrupy thickness of green and floral scents. Glinting spiral motes of flies whirl slowly in dancing columns. Clarion calls of bluetits and robins and innumerable other singing, scurrying wild things rummaging around in the undergrowth.
Aimed for a balance, trickier than I hoped at first, between spending a fairly restful day and trying to reframe my schedule to make space for somewhat deeper, more rigorous creative time than I’ve been able to manage for a good while. Having fallen so out of practice I felt a vague heaviness and dread as I sat down to draw, and didn’t manage to stick at it for long stretches or fall into a natural flow. I hope to continue though, and rehabituate myself before too long.
May we grow in our ability to find compassionate non-judging acceptance of our thoughts and feelings today!
