Chiaroscuro Sunday. I'd forgotten how much I like looking at and thinking about art. Knew the light and dark style, but not what a wild character Caravaggio was. The 4th frame shows a view which wasn't named but I knew it immediately. Clue: it's the Lake District.

I've camped beside Scottish seas four times. Miraculously avoiding midges, astonishingly free from wind; summery in a sand dune north and on Mull with this mist and flower morning.

For years I'd heard about Faulkner but never read him. This prose is so good I've got the book & will be reading him: "Love no more exists just at one spot and in one moment and in one body out of all the earth and all time and all the teeming breathed than sunlight does."

The River and the Tree. I'm not sure how fast the buds form after autumn but I suspect it's almost immediately, ready for the next spring. Anyway I like seeing them.

"In the autumn electricity withdraws into the earth again and rests" - I Ching hexagram 17. Some autumn leaves remaining but a new winter arrival. So retreat, withdraw, with inside not outside energy.
