creative energy

I'm in a good place right now...reminds me of my time on Lopez (Island). Because I lived alone that second stay there, and I worked with power tools for blocking out my wooden boxes, I tried to limit that work to my mornings, when I was more alert, etc. A nice memory is that I was enjoying that creative period so much that I had to train myself to fall asleep at night. My meditations and mindfulness helped. Sometimes, it was like the only reason I got into bed was to get the rest my body and mind needed so that I could get back up and start working again... I need to edit these photos. I will do so later. I remember that I traded the box I made for a friend of mine who worked at a photo processing lab. In return for the photos, I made her a box with little boxes inside to showcase her charm bracelet collection pieces.

"Before" pictures of our backyard jungle, a work in progress, starting today...

 - this morning, before I started, much of the area left of the iris plants was water

- a new little island is evolving there now, and I will fill in the area this side of the iris plants

- I plan to paint the little bridge a bright red, ala Japanese

- you can't even see the waterfall behind the small tree...

...without pushing aside the vine leaves

I'm excited! This is going to be fun I think, and it might even be cool to look at and enjoy when it's completed...

quiet

I like listening to the silence early in the morning, with just me and the cats...
