Perception and Balance

Easily lost, hard to find.

A couple of days off, desperately needed for mental and physical health and well-being. Needing to slow down, chill out, make art, relax. First steps taken today. A slow and unplanned day, quiet coffee and walk in the morning, a little artmaking, some writing, snacking, napping, drinking of the sacred nectar of the agave in the twilight, and shrimps for supper. A good day, a good beginning to rest and recovery.

There is life mainteance to do (mowing, sawing, laundry, always laundry...) but it can wait. Right now the important thing feels like breaking the cycle of "doing" at high speed. To sit and listen to hummingbirds, watch the way rain splatters on the old deck boards, and see how many colors of purple can be found within a stones throw of the porch.

Sample of the today's art:




I did this, it was a little bit confusing, so I ripped it apart and it made more sense...





some of it ended up here





another part here...



More to come, but i'm in no big hurry (for a change).

Hope everyone is having good days and nights. Hasn't the moon been crazy cool lately???
