Summer First Harvest Moon
Without the Latin I’ve had considerable time to focus on revising Missing. I’m finding the rhythm of garden work and writing very satisfying. I can work outside in the earlier morning, then revise until lunch, and pick up the revising again after lunch and until I work out. This means a steady pace, one that leaves me feeling whole at the end of the day.
Feeling whole means that I’ve kept up with my commitments.
There’s a part of me that feels bad about letting the Latin lie, I’ve put so much energy into it up to now, but the feeling of wholeness I’m gaining suggests I had spread myself too thin. It may be that I’ll work on the Latin only after garden work falls away sometime in September, then drop it again in May. I like to adjust my life to the seasons and that would be another way to do it.
