“It was odd, she thought, how if one was alone, one leant to inanimate things; trees, streams, flowers; felt they expressed one; felt they became one; felt they knew one, in a sense were one; felt an irrational tenderness thus (she looked at that long steady light) as for oneself. There rose, and she looked and looked with her needles suspended, there curled up off the floor of the mind, rose from the lake of one’s being, a mist, a bride to meet her lover.”
― #VirginiaWoolf, from #ToTheLighthouse

If anyone is interested in listening to the song that came to my mind for the painting:
Season 2 of the podcast is live!
Eric and I kick off season 2 with one of my favorite authors of all time, Virginia Woolf.
I was so excited that I also wrote an essay.

I need a cart to push my reading materials and coffee accoutrements from one end of my apartment to the other. That's how serious it's gotten.
Finally settled in bed with all I need. I hope.
And here's a book on Cornwall purchased in Penzance, one of several source materials I'm reading for my To the Lighthouse re-read.
Oh, crap. Forgot my notebook and lap desk. (Expletive)

I keep forgetting the necessity of hashtags here.
It's #reading #sunday #coffee in bed day. Today it's #virginiawoolf, #cornwall and all things #tothelighthouse related.
Here's a picture from #penzance and the #atlanticocean from my 2018 stay there.
Next time I'll put hashtags at the bottom I guess. #learning
