go to plan for mental health...

My go-to plan...
1. Reading and writing...lots of it if indoors is a must...
2. Lots of breathing + walking among trees or by the sea outdoors + reading and writing there. Sadly, the sea option is diminishing with the growing inflow of summer holiday crowds...

blank page and trees...

'Pages are such daunting things. Unwritten on, they are so pure, so white, so unsullied, like freshly fallen snow.
So silent.
Who would dare to put footprints there?'

'This tree is vast, like a cathedral or an ocean liner. When I was little I had parts of it all mapped out into kitchen and bedrooms and living room, all connected by the passageways of broad branches.'

I found this windscreen view of a Rosebud carpark rather cute...
It appeared that my car was cultivating a healthy bed of flowers...
And loved the bluest blue sky with pocket puffs of white cloud overhead... pic.twitter.com/YV1KHVRsGc
