On forests, trees, and reconnecting

Somewhat impossibly, the news cycle seems to be accelerating. We've barely had a chance to absorb one piece of major #COVID19 / #coronavirus related news before another hits. Then another...

I get that it's unsettling, and I can totally appreciate why so many folks are feeling more tension than usual. I feel it, as well, and I admit I've been staring at ceilings late at night more often than usual.

There's no question we live in unsettling times, and it feels like there isn't much of a plan in place to settle things back down to their normal levels of abnormality.

So I hope you don't mind if I cocoon myself in creative things for the next little while. It calms me, and I hope it calms you, too.

I shot this eerily lovely scene a few years back on a photo walk with our daughter, and I'm thinking we may be due for another stroll through the ancient bog before long.

Because nothing settles the soul better than returning to the places that once brought us peace. We can always go home again, wherever home happens to be.
