Goodnight friends! Off to the park with my girlfriend and her dog today, the extra motivation to get up and dressed and moving was veey welcome. The tight-packed stands of larches and pale smooth ash trees are still sere and greyish, feet lost in a tangle of brown bracken and brambles, while holly and scots pines are murky, shadowy green caverns under the flitting patchwork sky. Silver wavelets shiver on the pool, small triangle sails bellied full of wind while dozens on dozens of sleek black crows stand on the meadow beside the water, taking turns to loft up and balance on the breeze.
Slept a little better, but still sore and unable to settle, a general sense of leaden tiredness and limited energy continuing. After I took a walk, or ate, or concentrated on much at all for a prolonged periods I felt heavy and drained, sitting dazed and exhausted. Not relapsing or anything I think, just needing to strike the right balance for recovery between stillness and motion.
May we find steadiness, tranquility and patience in our lives today!
