It hit me this morning: I am starting to wake up a bit and feel like I could Make again or go outside and shoot a arrow or Do, and it is also almost exactly one month since the winter solstice. We are through the awful dragging weight of the final weeks of pregnancy and that certainly helps, but that's also balanced by the sleep impact of a newborn; i don't know why I try to reject how much i need longer days but I keep doing, despite this trail of crumbs leading back to a clear wane and wax centered pretty squarely on the solstices
i was talking with Em and my sister the other night about our chickens and Em was sharing how she learned recently chickens don't lay eggs generally if they don't get at least 14 hours of daylight; we creatures of meat and shadow are solar powered
i'm hopeful i'll be able to put in more progress on my mittens this week to get closer to enabling bitter cold archery, and maybe i will try to sit down and do Just One Thing on my secret project this week. I'd also like to do something to my website so it embeds content when I share a link somewhere (hints welcome)--I really am waking up if i can start imagining more ways things don't have to be the way they are.
I'm also constantly thinking of all my friends; I have been trying to send more little texts to people or comment on websitePosts, but am also feeling the call of hanging out and playing a game. Maybe i should convince everyone to download Dolphin so we can play Kirby's Air Ride City Trial
good morning long sun
