Meditative, Susie. Your words are always a beautiful balm. I'm excited to hear of the Obscura piece that is inbound.

"We talk into hours that shouldn't be known," -- such a great line. So true, but so wonderful to occasionally inhabit this space.

A court jester indeed. What a mess. Every day it is something more ridiculous and outrageous than the last. Sign.

May your land be blessed by nature and there be calm and stable seasons ahead.

Thank you Nathan, my Obscura piece is evolving. I will leave it there for now... but I can tell you whilst it will be very different, The Sernox was my inspiration.

I have always believed some of our most profound wisdoms (and follies) arrive in those hours of the day that are designed for sleep, be that in conversation - whiskey fuelled or otherwise - or the written word. It is a space I inhabit, not always willingly, too often.

It is a mess isn't it Nathan, a mockery of humanness but apparently court jesters are notoriously lacking. I cannot say first hand but my son tells me often the jesters in online games are evil tricksters. Perhaps those in question should lay down their game controllers and concentrate more on that which is real!

This morning I have woken to the silence and calm of snowfall. At last... 🙏🏼❄️

Oh wow, that's so exciting and a deep honour for it to have been an inspiration. I shall await it with as much patience as I can. ;)

I am of that same belief. The early early morning and late late are when I am most sensitive to creativity and inspiration and wonder. And if there's whisky involved then even better.

I wonder what the typical life span of a court jester was in mediaeval times…

Don't hold your breath Nathan, it is a labour of love between all other labours of love, it risks taking much time.

One can only hope re the court jester... though this one, unlike mediaeval times has the back up of modern medicine!
