Goodnight friends! A leaden and chill start, but crisp breezes progressively led by uncertain degrees to a more expansive sun-stained afternoon. Even with the wind and open skies there was a dreamy, out of focus quality to the air, bluish like drifting woodsmoke but smelling more of sweetly rancid decay.
Hard going still, and harder to judge than in warmer months how much I have to give – for attention, memory, stamina, all unexpectedly fugitive, slow pinhole leaks and sudden deflating splits at the seams. Aiming to keep sticking for now to a reduced version of my regular routine, allowing some flexibility but I don’t want to lose the framework of habits that gives shape and texture to bleary days.
May we find and nurture kindness and generosity within and around us today!
