"Seeing herons always soothes me a little ... Seeing them makes me feel like I am in the right place at the right time, somehow. I see them as a gift from another time" from 'Thin Places' by Kerri nΓ Dochartaigh.
"I am in the right place at the right time."

ALT: a box of watercolors and a brush on a light blue background
I love that somehow I squirreled some paint away months ago, totally forgot about it, and discovered it like lost treasure this morning while looking for something else π

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

The Storied Body: Rewriting Your Story for Creative Liberation (Coeurage Manifesto Part 2)
Your aliveness is born from the story you embody. A false story will silence your creative heart.
Again, I have poured my heart out. Part 2 of the Manifesto is live!
If you have ever:
β¨felt the ache of an unlived life
β¨found yourself creatively blocked
β¨looked at the stirring in your soul and asked, "But what is the point of doing this?"
This one's for you.

You know, I've never thought to try eating the flowers. Usually I leave them for the bees! But the leaves of the plant definitely smell and taste minty!

Amazing how changing my focus toward something I 100% love and feel zero conflict towards doing, makes me more okay to be seen/known again.
100/10 on aligning existence with your values, highly recommend
