A DAY OF QUIET

Despite being home today — instead of at the office — and having a mountain of work looming, there was a sense of calm tranquility. Curtains were drawn for kitties to bathe in sunlight and, out my window, Bedford Avenue fell into step with the pace of my day. The light was rich but the air was crisp and it all came together to feel more like a late afternoon in spring, rather than the dawn of fall.

Productivity was at a high level, which could be attributed to being home — despite not feeling well — or maybe it’s simply that things needed to get done.

And they did.

Two top tattoo artists rejected the design, calling it too intricate for such a small area. It’s unfortunate but it does make sense, so it’s back to the drawing board… kind of. The I-Ching will remain. But what will go inside? That’s the new challenge. And being told one cannot do something often times provides opportunities to approach from another perspective. And perhaps something even more beautiful will come from it.

It was a good day.
