Omg the library just reopened & people lined up and were so excited and the library staff gave an ovation when they walked through the door.

Just loving human beings so much right now.

SOUND ON!

Studies have shown that listening to the sound of beavers enthusiastically munching on white cabbage can temporarily reduce stress levels by up to 17%.

Settle

I wonder why
I feel
This constant
PULL
To go ‘Home’
(Wherever that might be),
And then,
When I get there
(‘Home’),
I feel
This constant
DRIVE
To move on.

Why can’t I just
Settle
‘Here’
(Wherever that might be)
For a while?

Go Tolstoy!
“...my whole life...is every moment of it no longer meaningless as it was before, but has an unquestionable meaning of goodness with which I have the power to invest it.”

Evening Serenade

Deeply in love with
The blackbird who stands singing,
From my neighbours’ roof.

Holy Crap

What kind of great bird
Left this mess? Stork, albatross,
Or pterodactyl?

Navigational Difficulties

Not lost. Exploring.
The opposite direction
Also leads to here.

Of young ladybirds.

I must now confess,
I have fallen in love with,
My new wallpaper.

Messy Picnic Dinner

This spread was perfect
Apart from the cat wormer
Saved for this morning.
