Transcription
:

I fear I'm being made - There's
more to report than I have energy
for: my alone time.
Journal writing
The questions [fl charts]
The disappointing butterfly
trip.
The epiphany at the butterfly
sanctuary...
I can dwell on all those
things I can no longer do-
walking very far, have the
stamina for extensive projects,
travel energetically,
or.
I can enjoy those things
I can do, 29 Pieces.
Look at the sky in peace.
Appreciate clouds. Write in this
journal. Draw. Meditate. Love
