"We were like the clouds, sublime, marvelously detailed and ethereal all at once, mere convolutions of form with no permanence or substance. We were, as was everything around us, involutions of time and space. ...

To awaken, dream, and then sleep again. We are thinking clouds."—Christopher Dewdney

HAPPY FRIDAY!
You made it! 🎉🎉🎉

Alright, folks, I'm curious to hear- what helps you stay #positive?

Besides trying to eat right, get sleep, & exercise (we can try, right?), what routines/habits help you stay grounded & productive?

Me: Baking, piano, & a fruit salad while I write.

Hbu?

My thoughts are wool,
Tangle and bright,
Filling up the edges,
Waking me at night,
Knitted into something,
Snagged on darker days,
But mostly scarves and dishcloths,
Bright colours midst the greys.

A wee poem about what the land remembers (and we too often forget to hear) for #PromptCombo #subtext. Thanks @victoriaspires.bsky.social for a tricky prompt and apologies for not being brave enough to tackle the terza rima! #poems #poetry #writingcommunity #decolonisation
