Goodnight friends! Morning light in neat white slices sliding through the blinds, and stutter-stop flashes of brightness throughout the day, alternating with speckling weightless rain. Cooler than yesterday, but still with the softer, more velvety feeling of spring and an acid greenish scent on the air. Flouncy, plump looking leaves of borage and primrose popping up in fountaining sprays.

Though mild, the quick-change weather got into my joints a bit, and I felt pained and destabilised a lot of the day. A little drawing and a few household tasks, some things I’m glad to have accomplished but it all felt a little patchwork and desultory under the slow sawing pressure of fatigue and pain.

May we find new ways to align ourselves and our actions more closely with our values today!
