Goodnight friends! Bright jigsaw sky, clouds gathering and parting, vague purplish threats of rain low above the horizon that never quite came to fruition. Dense white pom-pon seedheads of sow thistles, grass thickly littered with fallen linden seeds on withered parachute leaves. Teardrop horse-chestnut leaves browning amd crumbling as their macehead seeds swell.
Sluggish and slow getting started, but pain and thinking mostly under good control. Took a timid step forward and worked my way through a mini-workout in the afternoon. Trying to strike a balance between care for myself today and building a little more future fatigue resilience, by putting a bit more muscle it it’s way if I can. I think going through this process to begin with is what made me able to do judo to begin with, as well as generally increased my mobility, so if I can find a sustainable place for exercise again I think it would help ease the post-exertion effects of sport.
May we find moments of immediacy and joyful presence in our lives today, and celebrate then by living in them fully as they appear!
