Goodnight friends! A sodden, barely lit day, a fine toothy haze of rain falling so thinly as to nearly avoid suspicion, but with enough grim consistency to thoroughly soak the whole world in a slick cold satiny film. Lone thin peeping of a bird somewhere in the ragged trees.
Exhausted and unfocussed, my thoughts muddy, I forced my limited determination and energy through the brief high-pressure burst of an exercise session rather than letting it slowly drip drip out of me to no purpose but a sense of deeper gloom. Instead, a little buzz of endorphins, a little distracting warmth. The present can’t give me much some Autumn days, but at least it’s enough to invest a little in the future.
May we find ways to be gentler and kinder with each other and ourselves today!
