Good afternoon friends! Thick, gloomily saturated air persists, not quite raining most of the time but an inescapable greasy damp feeling to the air and a cold prickle of moisture constant on my skin. Squirrels skitter and leap like fuzzy uncoiling springs, dislodging sparse remaining leaves among skinny bare branches overhead. Emerald moss and dainty frills of fungus everywhere.
Fatigue eased slightly, but for now most of my energy day by day is still taken up with holding myself together.
May we find gentleness and moments of calm today!
