While working on a big piece, I kept thinking about how slowing down is the only way I avoid mistakes that ruin my work. When drawing, by hand, in ink, there is no 'undo'. If I make a mistake, the piece is ruined and I cut it up into scrap paper.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
So, in today's #inkyDays drawing, I incorporated the thought I posted recently: "slow down and make wonderful things". The ants agree.
Throughout the day, many things demand our time.
That's why, when we are done with those things, we wisely find a place of calmness and peace while we literally doff the many hats we wear.
We kick off our shoes, close our eyes, and let our minds move to good places, places in which we feel happy to be.

Here’s what we’re reading today:
The #FSB detained a ‘Ukrainian agent’ accused of killing senior Russian General #Moskalik after planting a bomb on the orders of the #SBU, Ukraine’s security service.
Moskalik was a part of the Russian delegation in the #Ukraine #peace talks in 2015.

May the artwork take you to a place of peace, calmness, and quiet joy.
UKRAINE, EU PRESENT PEACE PLAN: Ukrainian and European officials have submitted a #peace proposal to the U.S. that includes "robust security guarantees."
It also rejects any discussion of territorial concessions until a "full and unconditional #ceasefire" is in place.
When the day is fading and the light is making everything orange, the wind stops, the air becomes warmer, just for some minutes. Looks like the nature is saluting the approaching night, through a daily, eternal solemn rite.
And while I knew that I wasn't the only person on the planet who was up that morning, it certainly felt like it.
"Where were all the other tourists?" I wondered. "And how long would they stay away?"

Analysis: #Finns lost their trust in the United States, even though politicians claim to trust. #Finns support #Ukraine's right to its territories unusually firmly, writes Maria Stenroos, Yle's #NATO special reporter. The reason can be found in our #history. #Peace brothers but not at any cost.#suomimastodon #usa #US #SlavaUkraini https://yle.fi/a/74-20157652
As a condition for a #peace agreement, #Trump wants #Zelenskyy to cede to #Putin all #Ukrainian land already occupied by #Russia as well as the #Crimea.
Zelenskyy basically said: Fuck you, Donald!
J.D. Vance: Russia and Ukraine must swap territory for peace deal.
Zeleskyj responds on Telegram that he wants a "full, unconditional ceasefire immediately."
"Der er ingen grund til, at den franske og ukrainske udenrigsminister mødes, for de er enige, så når Rubio ikke kommer, gider de ikke sidde og snakke med Keith Kellogg, der er en form for stueplante i den amerikanske administration, siger han til TV 2."
