Making sense of my world I often draw in my journal. These are a series of entrys over the past few weeks. The top is today’s. It is a series of hearts. Yes, this may be avoidance behavior as I need to work on dissertation revisions. Life is lifey right now. While calm resides inContinue reading “Anchored”

As I ran IContinue reading “First Outdoor Run of Season”

Thankful forContinue reading “Sunrise”

Discussing the difference between a rotation, twenty four hoursContinue reading “Revolutions around the Sun”
