Knit!

Daily writing prompt
How do you relax?

But I have small humans, so usually I just zone out on my phone. I particularly like open ended games. Currently I’m playing Cityscapes. Or I’m on social media. 👀 Check out my insta page, largely devoted to knitting and parenting. So the two most important things in my life 😅

Or nap.

Or we go for a walk. Or eat ice cream.

But also, I’m adding painting into the rotation! As a musician, sometimes music is part of relaxation, but unfortunately it is too often associated instead with work. I love and hate this. I’m attaching a song I play that actually does reach that inner part of me for renewal, and I’m adding a pic of a recent color meditation I did.

This organ is sublime. I connect spiritually with this music precisely because of its distance in time and sound, but how fresh and exciting it still is. I can’t really explain it, I’m afraid. This song is just beautiful, especially on a meantone organ like the one in my recording.
A monochrome color meditation I did yesterday. I’m working on making peace with ochre, not a usual favorite of mine 😅
