As a trombone player, I appreciate this.

Unironically this:

Red knitting on cable needles half draped over a leg.

Working on the next shawl!

What if I finished one of the 857 abandoned craft projects lying around my living room, what then

A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book is being republished this Thursday. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

Me: But if I give her a full shark mouth she's going to lose some of her conventional prettiness.

Also me: Do it coward. Only the strong of Will deserve shark babes.

Pan bottom was warped. I got to hit it with a hammer. Pretty satisfying. Got it about 95% of the way there.

Red and orange leaves on a tree.

Fall's Fiery Foliage...

Good morning Bluesky, I wish you all a beautiful day😊

When we're having a trauma response, our nervous system doesn't need to be told "calm down" or "you're fine."

It needs to be told "I'm here"-- & it needs to experience that it's not alone against this fear or pain.

Presence. Not just words.

A rose with light yellow petals that are tinged in pink.

Today’s rose…✨

Gold star for me for recognizing a panic coming on and going out for a walk before it completely went to freeze mode.

An older, nearly barren tree on the left, and the right has two trees with red leaves

Fall colors are popping! I also had to include my fav tree, "Grandpa" as I like to call him. Something has gotten to him and it looks on his way out, but his bark is an amazing whitish silver.

Anyways, I do enjoy these trees I get to see nearly every day.

Let’s get biblical, biblical…

When I think of A.I. I think of asbestos. To begin with everyone thought Asbestos was amazing, folk used it in everything. Then they started learning it was dangerous, research was done, they stopped using it, thou for some the damage was already done. Stop using A.I and limit the damage it's doing.

A dark orange leaf with rain drops on it. The leaf rests on small stones.

No filters, nothing changed..just as found. 🍁✨

Do something nice for yourself every day.
Enjoy some tea, take a little nap, or shamble through the catacombs beneath crumbling castles and find the bones of ancient kings to snack on.

I wish I knew how to let go

All within..

To the One Who Is Seen

Each breath returns
What never left.

To know is not to name,
But to stand undone —
Where the eye becomes
What it beholds.

Reject the choosing,
And all divides reveal
Their quiet seam —
Through soul akin—
Neither within, nor without,
But the Clear Between.

Finished my first week of work for a long while \o/

And now I recognize my fuze is SO VERY SHORT. Like I'm overstimulated or something.

Ugh, guess it's something to keep track of :-/

Choose love.
Choose peace.
Choose kindness.
Choose to keep searching bookstores, crumbling castles, and dark parts of the forest for portals to other realms, where reading & sleeping are celebrated sports.

Every time we engage our pain or fear w/ compassion patience, acceptance, & realism, it makes a difference. It makes a dent in the neural pathways that drive our trauma responses. Our vulnerability to future trauma responses is diminished every time we have our own back.
