Corona Journal Entry Yesterday I started earlier in the evening, same place. Went after a different moment. Well, to be honest, I think I chased moments all over the place. Got back tonight just barely in time. Experimented and followed my nose. § I had no conscious thoughts of anything except trying to make the most of this moment with my paints. But now I can see that it is the right painting for the beginning of my post-lockdown chapter of Corona. There is positive energy and optimism in this light. § I raced for the first time today with new teammates in England and Sweden. How fitting was that? Travel and meeting new people – wouldn’t have been virtual racing if not for Covid. Earlier in the day when I stepped outside and heard Spring I was thinking about how universally appealing the chirping of birds is. Or beautiful moments of light like this. Same thing. We all have these joys in common. Corona added a new connecting experience and commonality.
