untitled, 1970 Cy Twombly

I'm feeling a little stressed out today, friends. I'm unexpectedly heading out of town tomorrow for a memorial service in Chicago and on top of being sad I also always freak out the day before leaving on a trip. In the past two years I've traveled so much that you'd think that I would have gotten used to this already. I have to remind myself today to stop, breathe, look at the sky and listen for the birds that have started to chirp again. I have to remind myself that I believe in small victories and being grateful for all the beauty that graces my life.
