Goodnight friends! Sky has a vastness of blue I feel like I haven’t seen for a while, the kind of brilliant vacant distance that gives a numinous, thrilling sensation – similar to stepping onto the stage of an empty auditorium. Finely-honed cold light struggled its way just above the treetops, mossy paths a blaze of jade randiance and every surface crisply carved into precise tranches of light and shadow, hard blue-black and green-gold planes.

Energy fairly steady, no particular thrum of inspiration and no sudden punctured collapse or crumpling squeeze of pain. Drew for more than an hour over the day all told, working away.at something, resting and puttering about, returning. Content, letting recovery continue to be less needful and urgent, more a pendulum swing of care, keeping myself in balance.

May we find grace and kindness and extend the same gift to others today!
