Goodnight friends! Back to open blazes and flashes of blue just for today, a sudden and fleeting interlude if the forecast is right before another week of rain-glutted grey. Crisp woody crack of hazelnut shells and slither of willow leaves underfoot, streaks of pale gold light slipping between ivy-mantled trunks.
Managed some exercise fairly successfully, though the long rest I needed afterwards left me paradoxically restless despite my exhaustion, unable to quite properly settle into a sense of stillness or recovery, and sleep has been doubly difficult to find.
May we find a sense of compassionate nurturing care for ourselves and each other today!
