Goodnight friends! Not bright but mild again and fairly clear, sky a pale frosty blue, the sun a sleepy bronze eye making its brief rolling arc above the horizon. Already lead-dark boulders of cloud are massing again in the north, but overhead dandelion puffs and the stark flanks of gulls blush in soft nectarine shades from glancing rays.
First day of this year much like the last of the last. A little groggy and swollen with fatigue, but compelled and energised at least mentally by picking away at drawings, feeling a sense of vitality and interest in the world that my body can’t really sustain for now. Giving myself conscious permission to stay in bed, and return to bed, as often as I need. Noticing myself falling back bit by bit into the often-unproductive rationalising habit of needing to justify tiredness before I actually take a break, rather than simply recognising what my body needs.
May we find a sense of restful tranquility and peace today!
