I even have the perfect small river to bathe in...

 It is in fact all rather absurdly perfect....

Years in my last base, i would walk up into the hills to a hidden high valley and at three lakes there were Swans and geese and their young. I pull up at the new vista...and within 10 minutes families of both are at my side.

 Restart,  almost all of life. I have never stood aside an artist - a true spirited and wise old "bird",  as she explains to me so openly her process.  

A joy - almost as if I haven't had myself the entirely blank new canvas to be new...

 And her instructions to me were about as sublime as can be....

However even a few hours was not enough to share our stories. Hubby too - just out of frame.... what a wonderful find. 

As if i had accidentally stumbled into the looking glass - even if it began some time ago, and ended up...in just the right lace. Even if prior that black swan wandering into my (minds eye) frame... I would have assumed the worst place in the land...

Rather ... hmmm... now i have ALL the time in the world, and even started going back over 7 years notebooks, yesterday... i have the space, and complete zen (and new relaxation i did not know i would find) , to simply focus on what i enjoy... jotting, musing, pondering how to express things well - such that they may resound inside, that body...unless there is a riverbank which needs bolstering and that would be better for that bankside...

I can flow either way, if it is good for the bank..

Anyway , yes, rather... yes, 

unknowable why the Black Swan is not in the picture...it being roped off... hahh hahh

To be continued -in fact  entirely rebooted, soon. I have already handwritten rewritten much. No mobile signal (i use to get online   two years ago i found that 'mobile hotspot tethering' worked..MIRACLE... years and years prior to that i could hardly get online  very rural hideaway in the Herefordshire hills. And now i am back to no signal. But this time i only welcome that. It is curiously 'fitting'. Fits the weird odyssey  objective, not to have to bother for a long time being online... except perhaps to put here so many fun and lovely photos, and a lot of getting exactly the right words on why live simply, and how..

I already now why, really...NO more  concerns elsewhere, no distractions,  time, timely...kairos.  Fix my bloody laptop keyboard (sss ...... three external ones all have  intermittent wonky faults.... but I can fix and refurbish ANYthing  soon.....especially when i am ready

As  now am.
