Morning from Marbury. Wonderful start to the day: a Hedgehog, a Hare and lots of Bats! Hope you can see a very close flyby by this Bat! The natural world is so beautiful and amazing. I hope we humans don’t ruin it which we seem hell bent on 😢

I hope every day you all are trying to cultivate joy. A kindness to a neighbor. A long walk. Poetry. Birdwatching. Meditation. Being silly and playing peekaboo in a checkout line with a cute baby. These are dark times, and joy is something the bastards cannot take from us. Fight for it.

I’ve been standing stock still in this wood for about 10 minutes while I mess about with a photo on my phone. I look up, notice the shape, and slowly crouch down to film This has made me so happy I feel I could cry. It’s as close to magic as I hope to get.

“I used to dislike being sensitive. I thought it made me weak. But take away that single trait, and you take away the very essence of who I am.” Caitlin Japa Some qualities we’ve spent a lifetime trying to change are the qualities that make us who we are. 🧡 #Sensitivity Art by joyfulsmolthings

Square digital illustration with a bright pink background filled with small white dots and large black outlined cloud-like shapes around the border. In the centre, large cream-coloured bubble letters with orange shading and black outlines spell the words “I FEEL EVERYTHING SO DEEPLY”. Around the text are two orange butterflies with cream spots, two yellow smiling faces, two dark pink hearts, three pink flowers with yellow centres, two simple black bird silhouettes and four yellow four-pointed sparkles. The artist’s handle, @joyfulsmolthings, appears in small grey text beneath the main wording, and a small pink glasses logo is visible in the bottom-right corner.
