Practicing my sketching.

IN THE MEANTIME

Meanwhile, flowers still bloom.
The moon rises, and the sun.
Babies smile and somewhere,
Against all the odds,
Two people are falling in love.

Strangers share cigarettes and jokes.
Light plays on the surface of water.
Grace occurs on unlikely streets
And we hold each other fast|
Against entropy, the fires and the flood.

Life leans towards living
And, while death claims all things at the end,
There were such precious times between,
In which everything was radiant
And we loved, again, this world.

Tom Hirons

Practicing my sketching. “Knowing how to be solitary is central to the act of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.”

This was the first dish we’ve made so far that I didn’t like. The butter in the sauce was too much for me and I didn’t enjoy it.

I didn’t have the right oatmeal so this one ended up burning the bottom of the instant pot but it still cooked and tasted delicious.
