#DailyHandwriting 9, What would you take for lunch in the park?
I snuck in the following more obscure words:
- Epicure: one with sensitive and discriminating tastes.
- Halcyon: Idyllic time.
- Harbinger: something that foreshadows a future event.
#dailyhandwriting 5, Drill for consistency: Write each capital letter of the alphabet 5 times.
I always thought quills and dip pens would be tedious to use, but in general, I can write a sentence without having to dip in between.
#dailyhandwriting 4 How do you feel about spring?
Petrichor's call
Cycle turns with vernal flux,
in zephyr's tune, the sparrows tryst,
Beneath the sky of equinox,
life's woken kiss, in dewy mist.
Petrichor's call, soft and fragrant,
from dormant clay to verdant gest,
from solstice cold, stark and vacant,
to Ostara's warmth on Gaia's breast.
Perennial dance in vibrant glee,
the reaffirm of life's decree,
Nature's lesson, simply free,
to seize and savour existence, be.
I've always failed to keep up a daily journaling habit, but with the #hobonichi Cousin I finally manage to write every day, diary style. The dated one page per day really motivates me to fill it up. I look forward to journaling now, and even if very little happens during my day I find interesting things to write about. Thoughts I had, feelings to process....it's all really helpful <3
