Goodnight friends! Hopeful azure streamers on the cold wind this morning, but by rapid degrees the roiling clouds nuzzled close against each other and darkened to a familiar sepia grey. Rain came intermittent and thin, sibilant slanting leaving long morse code stuttering streaks down the windows. What little sun we saw was gone with still-jarring rapidity. Night trains usually hidden in the dark behind wooded banks are now flickering trails of roaring, lonely yellow light.
Left myself a little concussed and numb for most of the day again by starting out with some exercise, though I was feeling the warning pressure in my joints anyway that makes me suspect things wouldn’t have been so very much different had I taken the day off. As it was I got some warmth flowing through my body, and at least the wan contentment of keeping faith with my schedule.
May we allow ourselves and each other the forgiving freedom to explore new ways of being and expressing today!
