Daily Notes- April 13th


I managed to bake a pie, get Watchathon working again, watched a movie (Arrival) which I had seen  before but it leaves a real impression--sends me a message each time I see it.  I wish I had gotten to see it again in a theater.  The soundtrack........something about it.

I had a very strange "waking" dream today.  Somewhere between being awake and being asleep.  I'm not sure if I was or wasn't.  But some things became clear.  I could see how it might be, at the end. Like in Arrival, Time moved back and forth from past to future while the viewer stayed in the present.

1.  I'm not in charge of anything or anyone.
2.  Gardening and feeding the Earth seem to be what I do best.
3.  It's Time to work on another Random Act of Kindness and not just think about it.
4.  I want to start a daily walk routine.  I wasn't fast enough today and G and Riley are already gone.
5.  Thirty Minutes on the sewing machine each day.  Set a timer.  Longer is okay.  Shorter is not.
6.  I may never stop writing the Morning Pages but I will never, ever read them.
7.  Realizing that beginning is the hardest part of anything.

It's raining here in Maine.  And it will be raining for several days.  And, then, perhaps Spring will arrive?   I'm going to dust and vacuum and do laundry today.  In fact, I am going to begin doing all those things as soon as I hit publish.   And then I will add rows to the pink square.  Other colors as I am out of pink.

The image up top.  A drawing I have made in cloth and on paper.  Recently I added color to the black and white drawing.  I draw this image over and over as the years go by.  It keeps arriving on paper and cloth.  Here it is today.  I could look at it forever and be happy.
