Goodnight friends! The first utterly cloudless day in a while, dizzying, incomprehensible expanse of blue from horizon to horizon. Early hawthorns canopies of white, sweet blossoms like starfields across a bright cosmos. Woods still sodden, churned to a pockmarked half-swamp of thick dark mud, but despite the bare trees the woods are lush. Birdsong shrills and buzzes, urgent new leafy runners of bramble, indefatigable holly and ivy, all blaze like a carpet of green fire. Forecast suggests a swift reversal, a few days of solid rain returning from tomorrow. Hopefully at least we’ll see spirng growth turbocharged in the aftermath.
Again, lethargic for long periods and lacking motivation, a little anhedonic and dull-feeling, muted despite the exploding beauty and noise of the natural world. Brief dizzy spells not fully abating. Probably the low level ambient stress of moving house stuff is still wearing on me, running circles in the back of my mind.
May we find moments of rest and calm reflection today!
