Goodnight friends! Dreary and cold again, though a little drier feeling. Fresh daily wonder of more and more green stippling, pointillist spread of green sprouts on black earth, moss swelling and spreading across walls and gravestones in dozens of shades of green. Dense net of spidery bare twigs against a slow-moving colourless, hourless sky.
My body overall is still not feeling great, not too unusual for this time of year – especially slow recovery from exertion, feverish pain in my joints and thoughts dissolving and fragmenting easily. I shortened my walk and shaped my day around a lot of rest, trying to be patient and pace things out carefully.
May we find space in our lives for stillness and tranquil reflection today!
