The weather is unseasonably warm today. There’s also a light rain falling; so even though we’re only into the middle of February, it feels like the perfect afternoon to be out in the workshop rough cutting some wooden spoons.

While I might not be hard at work saving the world, this little corner of it feels pretty good right now. Not that saving the world is something I’m geared for anyway. I’m more about tending to my own wounds and helping others to do the same whenever they come knocking, or whenever Creator points me in their direction.

I’ve learned to stand on these moments of peace when they come. The work has been exhausting lately, and it’s times like this when the results of it can settle into my bones and get me ready for whatever the next round brings.

As I write this, the rain has stopped and the wind’s beginning to pick up. It feels as if the temperature’s starting to drop. I’ll head back out to the garage in a few minutes, listen to a couple more songs, and look upon my work and call it good.

As chaotic as things continue to be right now, this day is exactly the Medicine I needed…
