Goodnight friends! Damp simmering threat of rain in the early afternoon, but clouds scattered and little by litle the breeze rose to an inconsistent buffeting wind. Bumblebees jostled among the purple matrimony vine flowers, closely-arrayed yew branches shifting and clattering against each other like morris sticks. First companionable fox in a while, taking a few minutes to stop and lounge in the grass with me.
Another uptick in energy, and in mood, not much ability to focus but able to walk and stretch, engage with a few short spurts of drawing and organise things just a little out of the sprawl of extra untidiness that accompanies a slight relapse.
May we find a deeper, more compassionate understanding of our own needs as well as the needs of others today!
