For my January blog post, I was planning on a book report, but I didn’t receive a book for Christmas, incredibly, and didn’t pick one out. I could use this space to make a commentary about the crazy events and changes going on in the world, but instead, I think I’m going to take this space to instead post a very simple drawing I did of a very simple flower, because sometimes, simple is what we need most when everything else is large and complicated.

Relentless kindness and dedication to life is most precious and noble; all else follows.
