Goodnight friends! Brighter on the whole, and no sign or scent of rain. Drifting dour periods, but the sun was brilliant and hinted several times at real warmth. Steep stream banks thick with cascades of burnished yellow celandines, twinkles of tiny white garlic mustard flowers multiplying beneath the eaves of still-bare alders and willows shifting from yellow to green.
I had a goal to head out to a local queer picnic social today, but while I feel better overall it took a good while for me to get fully mobile, and even then there’s a lingering heaviness and drowsy ache that I felt urged caution. I took a slow mid-afternoon walk instead when I finally felt able to go outside, more oredictable and less stressful.
May we find a broader and gentler perspective on the arc of our lives so far and what we’ve achieved today!
