"Above all do not lose your desire to walk.  Everday I walk myself to a state of well-being from every illness.  I have walked myself into my best thoughts and I know of no other thought so burdomsome that one cannot walk away from it.  But by sitting still, the closer one comes to feeling ill.  Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be alright."
Soren Kierkegaard

Three months into the lockdown.  Now I'm much more aware of the awakening of Spring and moving to early summer.  I have watched the spring flowers bloom and set seed, the ash and the sycamore are already bearing their keys.  I have wandered over the catchment watershed territory listening to the calls of the lapwing and curlew and the glorious song of the skylark.  All the time the bandage grows and the chaos reigns.

Knitting the time line a bandage, protecting and mending.  Darned with hedgerow dyed yarns subtle colours, from nature, the quiet often un-noticed other.  The activity, meditative and calming, shutting out the chaos.
