Goodnight friends! A pale blue and fishscale-clouded sky, a breeze not harsh or damp but still very cold. Dark-crowned scots pines with their flanks dyed copper by drowsy afternoon light. A curious sighting of a few sheltered wildflowers, periwinkle and feverfew, among a blanket of metallically glossy ivy.

My heart is very heavy, function intermittent and low. Bleak distress at just how tired I am, how unfocused and scattered, how intrusive and often overwhelming the pain gets. Even though I’m not alone, don’t truly feel alone, it’s easy to feel dislocated and unable to meaningfully express the sheer grinding endless weight of fatigue.

May we find rest and healing today!
