Goodnight friends! A small surprise outing scrambled my sense of the day a little. I was having a slow and bleary start despite the clear, bright weather when a surprise invite came. Some friends asked if I wanted to tag along on a gentle walk in a park I hadn’t been to before with some people I hadn’t seen in a few months. I managed to pull myself together a little and get out in the sun. My girlfriend’s dog helped haul me up hillsides scattered with daisies. Exulting warble and chatter of thrushes. Numinous stillness of a stand of scots pines striped with sunlight.
May we find a sense of confidence and agency in our lives today!
