Goodnight friends! Building gloom and leaden humidity in the air over the past few days gave way to rain at last, soft and scattered but persistent through most of the day, a gentle tapping on fledging leaves. Hogweed, goutweed and other lushly profusing broad-leafed groundcover shiver under tiny impacts.
Drowsy and full of damp aches, my mood low and fragile. A few of those bizarre moments of memory lapse where I seem to suddenly awaken, trapped in an alien agonised body, before a drip-feed of recollection reminds me that this is my normal and layers of coping skills start to reassert themselves. Demoralising on one hand, and yet on the other a reminder that I’ve become a bit tougher in some ways than I usually account for.
May we find kinship, care and understanding all around us today!
