it's not words or deeds
but the endless mesh of
invisible things that holds
me aloft, forever

B&W photo looking out a rainy window on the job-site. Construction dust and loud noises inside.. but like life, there is softness amongst the storms. Timber framing the view across the forest valley. With layers of mountain ridge lines intermixed in low lying clouds.

Sitting on the edge of the storm.. (Yin Sessions)
