Goodnight friends! Unluckily for the day of a partial eclipse the clouds that gathered yesterday afternoon stuck around, and were only thicker by morning, totally obscuring all but a slight further dimming of the light. Hot, hushed and breathless for most of the day, a faint breath of wind only stirring up and pulling apart the clouds come evening. Hawthorn blossoms crumple and fade away to tattered specks of pink and brown, blue drifts of speedwell and forget-me-nots swallowed up by grasses, fireweed and bramble.
Spent most of my strength right away on a big workout – it was a sweaty, gasping business in the still humid air, but I pushed on through and even set a few small new personal bests for reps. After that it was mostly a wrap on activities, I loafed around, listened to podcasts and sorted through some laundry, buoyed by the satisfaction of accomplished exhaustion.
May we find moments of tranquility and purposeful ease today!
