Good evening friends! Hard, heavy day health-wise, maybe the nearest to a small relapse in a while. Spent a good few hours in still, echoing silence under a blanket, feeling like I needed every effort of strength and concentration to push air through my lungs. Thankfully the quicksand tide of weakness has ebbed for now. An extra rest day tomorrow I think.

Grey, squeezing, clogging damp air has returned, which didn’t help. Was a mistake to take a brief walk in it, but not one I can wholly regret despite the result. I still see new and precious things that anchor part of me somewhere outside my body, even in the grimmest weather.

May we find calm and gentleness today!
