100 Day Project

revised from 4.24.2018

The flash of that snowy night only 10 days ago foreshadowed the greenish grays of the crackled marblelized ice around the dock.  Even a heavy snow in April can't stop spring.

Just a few days ago,  a fat little muskrat was balled up on the ice fishing, occasionally sticking its head down in the ice hole or slipping in and then out of the hole to eat its catch - a flash of yellow,  so I presume a sunny was on the lunch menu.

Then yesterday was my silent tradition of burning last year's palm and burying them in my garden.   It only seems appropriate that they nuture the new life promised in the seeds of beets,  carrots,  radishes,  and onions. 

Once again though, the fickle Mother Nature appears with a refreshing cold blast of air that hits my face as I near the lake on my morning run.

100 Day Project

Well the 100 days officially ended on 4/30/18.  I missed one day and had one day when I only wrote a few sentences because I was sick.  So my 100 days ended on 5/2/18.

When I first envisioned this 100 Day Project,  I envisioned Mirrored Light as something quite different than what it turned out to be.  I wasn't clear if it would be solely a writing journey or one of combined writing and some loose art.  I thought I'd find a quaint writing desk near a window at the library or home and that would be my creative home for these 100 days.   That didn't happen.   It ended up that the couch at 10:30 at night or the drivers seat in my car became the most frequent "creative desks".  I also assumed Mirrored Light would be in inception of light dancing in the open waters of Spring.   But that wasn't in the plan either, as the ice just went out on Lake Minnetonka two days ago (tying the latest ice out date oon record from 1857).  Instead,  I discovered my Mirrored Light was the beautiful blue light of the winter season.    And that was enough.
