"Seeing herons always soothes me a little ... Seeing them makes me feel like I am in the right place at the right time, somehow. I see them as a gift from another time" from 'Thin Places' by Kerri ní Dochartaigh.
"I am in the right place at the right time."

I love that somehow I squirreled some paint away months ago, totally forgot about it, and discovered it like lost treasure this morning while looking for something else 😅
Sharing paintings with a fellow painter and just absolutely swooning over each other's work >>>>>>

Thank you so much for saying so 🙏💙 this felt extremely personal and agonizing to write
A Grey Heron and Colin Firth as Mr Darcy both ponder the waters.
Jane Austen's Mr Darcy was a Heron.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.
Thank you so much Eli 🙏💙
I too can not spit out 100 words in SQL 😂
Do you have to write much for work?
I only suffer from this if I haven't thought long or hard enough on something 😂
Honestly, a very apt metaphor. Except I personally feel it is much less picturesque and more gruesome, on like a soul level 😭😂
You know, I've never thought to try eating the flowers. Usually I leave them for the bees! But the leaves of the plant definitely smell and taste minty!
Yes! We have a species of mint here that grows in watery verges. So my local wetland (bog) has mint plants and flowers everywhere 🥰
This is why I love Substack and Youtube. I'm a long form content girly. But I am currently relearning how to do short form, because not everyone wants a 13 page essay 😂 not even me, and I'm writing it

Amazing how changing my focus toward something I 100% love and feel zero conflict towards doing, makes me more okay to be seen/known again.
100/10 on aligning existence with your values, highly recommend
Happy birthday, love bug 💙
With you 100%
Slowing down versus aggressive confusion
Hitting an impenetrable (but definable) wall vs hitting an impenetrable (but undefinable) fog of irritation
😭 nooooo
^^^^^ The lit ass party that the alpha demon (the world's largest Labubu they are fundraising to destroy) is throwing to recruit more followers of Satan
LMFAO Labubu = Pazuzu is sending me
And my parents have had satanic panic my entire life, so you're not wrong 🤷♀️
