Goodnight friends! More overnight rain and patchy sleep, but relieved to have another dry, and often even bright day. A temporary sense of spring, maybe luminous only in comparison to a week of weepy low-hanging concrete skies, but seemingly full too of little sprouts and seedlings of tough little undergrowth scrabblers of marsh and meadow, little creeping buttercup and fern-like cow parsley.

Feeling like I’m able to count on my body a little more again now to fall into a swing of regular exercise – went through with a half hour of activity with no unusual struggle or any.sudden rising sense of suffocating exhaustion, as was the case for a while in December when everything felt particularly disrupted. Able to concentrate longer too, even when fairly well tired out.

May we gather our energy and direct our focus, thought and effort today towards things we can control!
