I’ve stumbled upon a similar practice of keeping multiple notebooks going for different purposes. I’m going to incorporate some of these ideas, like the commonplace book. One that I would recommend adding to this list is a nature journal. open.substack.com/pub/greg210/...

‘A Gilded Chain is Still a Chain’ I made this in tribute to the medieval Unicorn Tapestries. In the final tapestry the unicorn is imprisoned under a pomegranate tree that is dripping. I imagined if she escaped, she would want to destroy the tree and its fruits! #unicorn #art #painting #embroidery

Be gentle with your souls my dear ones. Here’s a Mary Oliver poem to read. Here are some wise words. Here is an old oak tree. Engage in something you love. If you love hiking or birding or gardening or making art, maybe we can do something we love together soon.
