Goodnight friends! Air scented with the old paper dryness of fading flowers and an acrid rubbery stink of softening tarmac. Everything still and the heat stickier, heavier, harder to escape. A gluey feeling of warmth after dark almost like the remnant of a sunburn, though I’ve rarely lingered at all outdoors and always in long sleeves and a hat. Yellow stars of loosestrife, drooping white roses, skinny rabbits not quite into their adult growth or canniness trotting across the paths.

Lymph nodes grape-hard and tender today, a broad spectrum feeling of exhaustion and malaise. Still very ambiguous what might have caused it, but taking things slow and steady and hoping for healing.

May we find peace and clarity in allowing ourselves to fail and move on today, and release our grip on unsuccessful projects, relationships, ideas of ourselves!
