Early morning fierce sun, soft winds, blue sea against a pale pebble beach; old friends chatting on the terrace sipping tea, the children playing, distant, released: the perfect lull.

“Jonna had a happy habit of waking each morning as if to a new life, which stretched before her straight through to evening, clean untouched, rarely shadowed by yesterday’s worries and mistakes.”

from ‘Fair Play’ Tove Jansson

After weeks of trying to create, to improve, to begin, to complete, it feels good just to stop and give in, to simply sit back and see.
