Reflective morning reading Wintering by Kathleen May – pondering on value of stopping and assessing and feeling. It is very helpful to be able to refer to another’s beautiful prose to validate one’s own actions. Although why I should need external validation to listen to my body, attune to the season and prepare for a shift in the year, is the subject of a thesis on its own.

A gratifying afternoon in the community thrift shop allowed me to ground my thoughts within the buzzing of people in the village and to remember that whatever I am wishing to communicate there are many, many people who share my sentiments but will not look at artwork – again another thesis.
