Goodnight friends! A dramatic, restless day full of twitchy sawtoothed wind and switchback weather. A steep drop back down below 10°c, but at first bold golden ribbons of sunlight caressed the lawns, tracing out the silhouettes of trees. Then the clouds darkened and clashed, thin fierce crashing diagonal rain coming on in an instant. The miraculous thick, umami smell of cool rain on warm earth, then the pitter-patter became a hard glassy clatter as the shower turned to hail. The cold snap deepening abruptly, the scent of wet soil becoming murkier and more fœtid, my wet forehead blazing with an uncanny shock of icy pain. Similar whipcrack changes of the sky happened a few times, a frigid ache settling in my joints. My upward trajectory feels mildly set back, but I did my stretches, hung out with my TTRPG group, kept things ticking along.
May we find a sense of confidence amd purpose in out lives today!
