Goodnight friends! The heavy, dragging tail of the storm is still slithering by. Thin howls and high, metallic shrieks of wind as it claws at chimneys and trees. Damp overtaking cold, around 10°c and rain a more consistent, drab needling downpout at a sharp angle. Usually heel-high twittering streams are calf-deep and bellowing, running fast and nearly black flush against their banks like long, creased trains of dark silk dresses.

Recovering mainly today, the long hangover of travel and the overbearing pressure of the rain both bearing down on me. Hoping to be well enough tomorrow to at least get back to some form of exercise, to keep my body stable and flexible through inevitable periods of stress and activity ahead.

May we find a sense of stability and steadfast capacity today!
