It was so hard to notate in a way that made it obvious how I wanted it sounded & felt in the body. Iโve been musicking for decades & problems donโt ever get easier to solve, I just get new problems.

Instead of doing work or life admin last night, I got out my colouring pencils and started on this unicorn because, well, I'm looking for joy wherever I can find it.

โThe fires are a reminder that a planet decimated by human greed and indulgence doesnโt care about your net worth. You canโt speak to the weatherโs manager. Mother Nature has no concierge. Your investment portfolio will not halt an inferno. A college degree wonโt tame the blaze.โ
