Goodnight friends! Very much appreciating a rest day this week – even a mild round of exercise, though I’m still glad to have done it, took a lot out of me and has left me feeling a little over-strained today. The foreboding dread feeling of deep malaise has subsided a lot at least, and I tried not to put too much pressure on being still out of worry for the days ahead rather than just a space for enjoyment.

Clearer and warmer weather helped ease my mind and my body as well. Leaves and petals lit up again with the glassy brilliance of transmitted light, trills and whistles sounding out clear from the trees above. Clouds are softly sculptural, moulded into undulating hazy spheres and horizon-spanning cables. Spiders are visible prowling in the undergrowth now, and alderflies with thickly-leaded wings cling among streamside plants, laying eggs to fall into the water.

May we freely give and be given care and support today!
