Stillness is not emptiness. Space is not absence. Just as fields need times of fallow, the mind needs time to wander. With one such brief respite, here’s some more (US) morning mellow.

Time to let the hair down and what better way to celebrate the party season than with First Day of Spring.

The alarm pulse pries at the eyes as the mind still clings to slumber. There in the dark, the soft, down covers, thick with warmth, argue against the cold. “Why not stay here?” they say. “Imagine that dreaded, icy first step onto the floor...” The temptation is to heed that advice and tumble back into sleep, but duty calls and the day is full of promise. But with wishes that I’d succumbed to that urge, here's some more (US) morning mellow.

I logged on just after 6am in hopes of catching up on various things, but of course various other things pulled my attention elsewhere. This can be frustrating, but I must always remember that I have time to focus on what needs to be done. "You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." - Marcus Aurelius With something soft and focusing (and far less pretentious than the quote above), here’s some more (US) morning mellow. As always, my ears are open for new, chill sounds. If you create downtempo, ambient, or chillout music that fits the Morning Mellow vibe, I'd be honored to give it a listen.

Collage quilt face with leaf hair and oranges. Outraged and ready to risk for justice.
Day 7: A Week of Slightly Unhinged Women
What do I do with all this outrage anyway?? Yell at the sky, get mad. Then: connect, act, love, march, create, give, risk for justice.

Lime green quilted woman with disjointed features. She mirrors the chaotic parts of the world.
Day 6: A Week of Slightly Unhinged Women
Whimsical art to add beauty to those unhinged days.
It is obvious. I am just a mirror of the world.

Quilted woman’s face in red’s with fabric salvages as the hair. This woman is about having a calm exterior but anxiety and worry on the inside and is a call for us to keep going.
Day 5: A Week of Slightly Unhinged Women
Outwardly confident, inwardly anxious. Don’t let anxiety derail the difference you want to make.

Quilted face with yellow hair, blue face red background. She keeps moving forward even in the middle of the chaos.
Day 4: A Week of Slightly Unhinged Women
Some days, the chaos wins. Do what you can, and don’t stop moving. You’ve got this. You know what is yours to do today.

It’s strange how we apportion time. Scientifically, we’ve the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians to credit for our 24-hour day and 60-minute hour, Julius Caesar and Pope Gregory XIII for our 12-month calendar. But why are we so apt to delay/define our efforts using those constructs? Many is the cry of, “I’m going back to the gym on Monday!” or “Starting in January, I’m eating better!”. Do we find this an easier way to mark the boundaries of our efforts or simply a method to put off our new pursuits? I’m guilty of this myself, as recent events have disrupted many of my usual routines, so my battle cry over the weekend was, “Monday! Monday it begins again!”. And here I am, hoping to get back into the groove, back to The Plan, back to forward progress. With those changes and future triumphs in mind, here’s some more (US) morning mellow.

Here's a current wip painting. Not sure if I'll leave it as a purely abstract or use this as the underpainting similar to some of these older oil paintings of mine.
A collage graphic reading "Off Kilter: Spring 2025's Most Anticipated Reads", with the covers of new and upcoming books Dead Writers, Horsefly, R.I.P. Scoot, Lowfield, The Last Band on Earth, He Who Would Walk the Earth, Wildwoman, and The Midnight Project. The background is of white roses on pink, with hidden spiders amidst the flowers.
Our #offkilter spring preview is out: 8 wonderfully weird books from @invisibooks.bsky.social, @coachhousebooks.bsky.social, Nightwood Editions, NON Publishing, @renegadeartsent.bsky.social, @playcanpress.bsky.social, @fernpub.bsky.social, & @wolsakandwynn.bsky.social.
