Virtue in Rest

1 Comment

There is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and overlook neither.
― Alan Cohen

Yesterday I finished the first draft of my someday verse novel, SONG OF THE RAVEN. Soaring!

I’ve plowed to the end of one row to turn around and work on another. Next week I’ll receive edits for my next verse novel, THE BURNING SEASON, my New Mexico book set in a fire tower. 🔥 While I wait I’m looking forward to some baking and garden puttering.

My heart is happy. My plate is full.

It’s time for me to step aside here. See you again in August. Have a wonderful month, friends!

    I love that you honor the rest that comes after the hard work. Happy Summer!
