Goodnight friends! Much the same out today, tentatively cooling though still fluttering around 20°c. Breezy and bustling moments of swarming cloud from time to time, light squirming, fading and flashing through shivering branches. A cormorant, deep dark greasy brown like engine oil, stood like an ill-omened statue among white gulls wheeling and jousting around blanched willow branches out on the reservoir. Scrabbling and tinny barking of squirrels loud in the oaks.
Much the same fortunes for me as well as the weather – poor sleep, fretful ruminations, mainly able and sometimes too able to focus on drawing, forgetting to eat or take care of myself for hours at a time. I don’t really have a plan for managing my mood or situation better yet, I can see the problems but for now they seem beyond my ability to resolve or come to full acceptance of in one go.
May we find balance and nurturing order in our lives today!
