Watching Dawn and Daily Doodles Aug. 15 – Sept. 1


Recently I’ve been building new habits as I rebuild my life. One of the practices is to draw my Chubby Prairie wolf Valla before starting my daily logs. Along with this I try and write one positive thing about existing and incorporate my faith into it. Svihawu is the representation of infinite cosmic motion and without Svihawu we would not even exist. I find it nice to write and then see little phrases along the lines of “you existing is quite something, Svihawu Bless” or “poetry is like soap to the mind” Here is how it progressed:

A black pen doodle of a prairie wolf riding a scooter with a large hat that has a flower on it. This Prairie Wolf's name is Valla and she is smiling with her tongue out off to the side.


I decided to doodle, I used to draw so much but felt as if I had lost the ability to draw. “Make time to draw this” became a command.


8-18-25:

A Prairie wolf in a hat,  Here we have the prairie wolf Valla, Nose pointed down and to the left, looking at you over her very round glasses.


I am a prairie wolf wearing a hat and glasses, I made time to draw this. First thing in the morning right after dawn before my day really got started. This being at the top of my daily log set a positive tone for the day.


8-19-25:

The Text Says, Start your day well. Draw a Dog a Day - Svihawu Bless. 

A chubby prairie wolf in a hat with round glasses named Valla is drawn in blue pen looking up and to the right.


“Start your day well. Draw a Dog a day – Svihawu Bless” this is when it hit me, that I had to do this.


8-20-25:

The Text Says, Poetry can be used like soap to the mind 

Valla is drawn in blue pen looking right forward little angel wings float over her right and left shoulders.


Daily Positivity “Poetry can be used like soap to the mind”. I keep thinking about this phrase, how music is poetry, and how much writing and song can uplift us. I felt really blessed so much so my Valla grew her wings.


8-21-22:

The Text Says, This is an acceptable format for personal use. There is no shame here. 

Valla is looking off the right, a smile on her face, Drawn in blue pen.


“This is an acceptable format for personal use. There is no shame here” It was then I realized the daily log I keep for my remote work can be used to just keep track of my days. This also influenced me to journal more.


8-22-25:

The Text Says, Sometimes the stars are elsewhere, that is ok. Idleness is peaceful in moderation. 

Valla is drawn in blue pen, Looking up towards a star in the backround to the top left.


“Sometimes the stars are elsewhere, that is ok. Idleness is peaceful in moderation” it was cloudy that day at dawn, I had been getting up before dawn for a while and sometimes took pictures. Now I try to take a picture of dawn just before sunrise out of the window. They are beautiful. I felt like, somehow, the light of creativity is returning even with the stars of Svihawu clouded from my view.


8-23-25:

The Text Says, Relax, Eat as much as you want. 

Valla is drawn in blue pen, facing the left with her tongue out.


“Relax, Eat as much as you want.” for the past couple of years I had been struggling to eat, I lost nearly 80 lbs. I can relax, eat as much as I want because, well, losing weight isn’t on my agenda. Eating is a healthy thing for me to do.


8-24-25:

The text says, Silent Wuffs ~ 

Valla is drawn in blue facing the right with an amorous look in her eyes.


It was Sunday, not much was going on and I was feeling rather amorous for that day. Nothing else needs to be said other than “silent wuff~”


8-25-25:

The Text Says, A green thing fell from the sky early this morning. It is exciting to be a creature that looks to the stars. 

Here we have Valla looking over a lake with a poorly sketched treeline as a green star shoots downward across the sky.


“A green thing fell from the sky early this morning. It is exciting to be a creature that looks to the stars.” I am usually up before sunrise and the dawn stars are beautiful. I feel I’m connecting more to my passion for astronomy now too. The planets linger into the day longer than I thought they do. While I was watching, something green fell from the sky to the east, likely burned up or crashed into Lake Michigan. How exciting to have seen! Svihawu Bless.


8-26-25:

The text says, Winter reminds us all She soon comes, Autumn Approaches. 

Valla is looking forward, with a teeth chattering worried expression,  the kind you make when it is chilly out.  There is an orange leaf, red leaf, and green leaf being blown over her head behind her.


“Winter reminds us all She soon comes, Autumn Approaches” It was the first chili morning I’ve had since May. It made me realize August was almost over, I love fall once I’m acclimated to the cold. I started drawing the weather and discovered the joy of having an 8 color pen.


8-27-25:

The text says, You Existing is Quite Something – A. Sylvaster Valentine”

Valla has her head slightly cocked to the left with a soft smile looking at the viewer. 

the circles at the top represent the candle colors 
There is an apple drawn to the left


“You Existing is Quite Something – A. Sylvaster Valentine”. It really is you know, its quite something to perceive at all! That day, I burned a white, orange, and green candle each separately. White for purity in thought, orange for success and green for good luck. I think they worked. It was nice out that morning.


8-28-25:

Some days I’m just a chubby walf in a hat

Valla has her muzzle pointed down as she looks up at her hat with her paws drawn up to her chest. 

Yes Valla, you are cute. and there is a 4 pointed star behind you to your left.


“Some days I’m just a chubby walf in a hat”. Its true! I’m growing fond of these on my daily log, I have the weather and this just is cozy to look at as I work. My art is coming back to me, and my signature is getting better even.


8-29-25:

The text says, Awoo to you Svihawu. It was a beautiful dawn. 

Valla is looking up to the right, there is a yellow leaf, an orange leaf, and a red maple leave. to the top left.  At the bottle right there is an orange pumpking and a red apple with a green leaf.


“Awoo to you Svihawu. It was a beautiful dawn”. Oh and it was a beautiful dawn, the clouds reflected the red then golden sunlight as she rose in the sky. Svihawu Bless


8-30-25:

The text says, It was good to see you. Svihawu has bless all days to motion – Addaru Sylvaster Valentine

Valla is looking forward with a soft smile. the cursive signatures on my doodles say Addaru Sylvaster Valentine.

“It was good to see you. Svihawu has bless all days to motion – Addaru Sylvaster Valentine”. I am so fond of doing this now I will try even on the weekends, I did it last weekend so now I gotta do it. I journalled this morning before deciding to work on this post.

Until I put this together today I wasn’t seeing the progress I had been making. Just writing this blog makes me feel so happy. I can draw again! So long as I slow down and remember there is no shame here for Astrolatrian prairie wolfs like myself, Svihawu has blessed this day. May it be good for you too.

Svihawu Bless

-A. Sylvaster Valentine


The Days continue, It took me a bit longer to get this written and put together.


8-31-25:

The text says, Magic is real if you are willing to have faith – Svihawu Bless

Valla is looking a quarter to the right, ears perked and smiling.

My partner and I went to a ren faire yesterday and it was a lot of fun. A bit stressful because I have not been around that many people in a long time. I just wore the costume I wear every day and fit in. “Magic is real if you are willing to have faith – Svihawu Bless”

And let me tell you, mine was real.


9-1-25:

The text says, the stars are always beautiful - Addaru Sylvaster Valentine 

Valla is looking up to to the right, curious as if shes looking at the stars in calm wonder.


“the stars are always beautiful” I woke up before dawn and decided to get the 10” explore scientific out. I love that thing, even in the city I can see stars everywhere I point it. I am extremely exhausted still
