Resting

I took this photo up at Malham Tarn today. I come here most days after work just to feel free and alone again.

I don’t hate my job, but the environment in which it is set just doesn’t work for me. It’s something I have fought the whole of my life....people, socialising, fear. Up here I don’t have to think about all that.

There is a sense of calm on days like today. Rare is the sky this blue and the water this clear. People mill around the shores enjoying the views, their picnics and the occasionally friendly cow.

I sit and read my book for a while, process my thoughts and return home.

Earlier this year I trained as a dog groomer. Tomorrow is my ‘alternative’ job, which sees a scruffy Pomeranian come to my house for a good bath, brush and trim. If I ask him nicely he might even agree to be blipped!

And That’s Today’s One Through The Looking Glass
