The day is laid back but serious. I have not put on music nor the radio this morning: silence is required at times. I hear traffic on austin, the machines of the neighbours in their gardens, the birds, the crows....I am soaking in the sounds of my hood. Everything feels like a dream. I thank God pretty much every time I walk on the street during the day. That we live in such a peaceful place on earth. Ukraine is a mess and people are being put in jail in russia and others are being killed. I pray they find peace within themselves, the ultimate refuge in times of extremes and violence.
