The day started with a walk early before the forecasted, extended heat wave of the next four days duration. This means that the evening temp. never goes below 60° while the days peak in the mid-90°s. The evergreens here suffer, while the birds seem thankful for my sprinkler filling the non-functional fountain that now serves as a bird bath.
It was a dry Winter and Spring, which means an increased fire season lurks in the wings of the dog days of summer.
On top of that, the entire country has gone to pot, in a constant state of anxiety with a group of authoritarian fascists spearheading high level posts in the National Gov’t. So yeah, there has been a lot of extra weight on the shoulders of every mortal Sisyphus.
Which is why, today was a good day to stop and focus on the minute…the infinitesimal…the internal.
I leave you with this short video of (I think) a white fly group enjoying a beam of sunlight, catching an updraft, dissipating in dance, then regrouping to repeat (we could take a lesson here)
