Sitting on the porch
Warm night fireflies and crickets
Lost art of being

My weekend reading in between all the getting stuff done will be a lovely re-read of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

Heaven knows I’ve seen every possible movie adaptation of this, since I’m a huge classic horror fan .

But it’s been decades since I’ve read the book!

I recently got a Barnes & Noble gift certificate for Mother’s Day from my son, so I bought myself some classics that I had wanted to have in my collection 📚🤎.

The smallest bit of knowing
Is passed between them

Almost close enough to touch
Can’t see through the mist

Learnings From My Cat

From the cat I have learned

To linger in a sun spot streaming through the window

To let other things wait while the warmth infuses my bones

To revel in a perfectly comfortable position, and to stretch slowly as if it is the day’s only task

The joy to be found in stillness

To flow without agenda
Gives endless freedom

Unspoiled golden perfection
Fed by warm sunlight

Floating on the wind
I tend to like the flying
Not so much the string

In the space
Between war and surrender
There’s a place
Not yet mapped out
Things here are unpredictable
Nebulous
Liminal places are like that
But if you just stop
No, really
Shut up
Give it a minute
Here, you will discover
Surrender without giving up
And victory without death
Things take a different shape here
If you stay long enough
You will too

One of the most consistently safe spaces in my life?

The night.

Night wraps around you, envelopes you.

It is peaceful. The garish, overdone trying too hard of the day is nowhere to be found.

Sweet, blessed silence, surrounded by a nameless mystery that has held you safe every night since you were born.

I am a creature of the night. It has always been so, and it always will be.

Old pictures, nic nacs and memories
Time passes
Energy can be neither created nor destroyed
Oh but it can sure as hell change shape
It isn’t what happens
But our reaction that determines our fate
So I choose freedom
A simple life of my choosing
My loftiest goal
What book to read next

Messages across the veil

So what is a Quince
I have no reference point
Seems it’s a fruit

Quince

owlsight, 5 months ago to cooking

Made old fashioned beef stew using my mom’s old recipe, made it in my mother in law’s ancient roasting pan.

Huge success! Super glad. The ginger snaps I made yesterday went nicely with coffee, so I’m pleased.

I don’t usually have time to cook the way I’d like to very often, so I really enjoyed this.
