Wishing you many wonderful fox encounters over the coming weeks and months! 🦊
I bumped into a fox last week, my first intense and interpersonal fox meeting in months, a very curious fox, I'm sure she was hungry but I think some foxes also do like the company of humans

The first labyrinth I built in SE London in 2013.
I always wondered whether the foxes were walking the labyrinth at night, or when nobody was looking 🌿🐾🦊

It took a shift in perception until I started seeing the beauty of pylons, in their structures, the angles, their sacred geometry 🌀

A fox jumping over a tomb, jumping over the moon.
If you are lucky enough to witness such an event, you may choose to whisper important news to the fox:
the passing of a loved one, the birth of a child, the fall of tyrants.
The news will be passed on to the clan

For the storytelling competition the fox wanted something special, and went to Bespoke Beasties;
So for one day and one night he turned into a fox of many tails/tales, became a flying fox, and donned an antler crown.
Dear Reader, he won the competition! 🦊🌀🌒

I am going to be away from here for a little while; I am travelling to the ragged East Coast of Hookland, and hoping to commune with wind, waves, seals and seahags.
Be kind to yourselves and each other 🦭🌀🐚

There are times when the hill figures of Hookland shift from their usual positions and go on sacred journeys. We may never know the purpose of these wanderings 🌖🌿🐾

how beautiful! And how bizarre there should be 10 spots 🍎
I love the 5 pointed star shape if you cut an apple cross way...
I discovered that blackberry shoots have a five pointed/sided cross section (the blossoms have five petals and the leaves often come in 5s but wasn't aware of the branches) 🌟

The collective noun for owls isn't just a 'Parliament of Owls' but also 'a Stare of Owls', 'a Study of Owls' and 'a Wisdom of Owls'. Maybe there are even more than that?
