Goodnight friends! The first day in a while I almost forgot to write my thoughts – as is usually the case, it was due to a day where a few small things stacked up to shunt me out, by degrees, of the deep furrows of routine I most often run on. Having rediscovered audiobooks I spent most of today absorbed in another, and was also trying to remember how to send a letter. Basic tasks like this put a heavy load on my often disjointed and confused thinking, especially when, like today, I was also sore and fatigued in the aftermath if exercising and so spent longer lying down. Degree by slight degree my heading shifted until all of a sudden the rhythm of my day felt very novel and unsettled.
Beautiful outside, the sky all fine scrolling ice-white ornament, leaves inlaid with spidery molten wires of sunlight. Damselflies like hallucinations, their fast-beating gauzy wings invisible so that they seem like nothing so much as wands of gleaming blue metal, swept smoothly across the thickets of dock and hogweed by an unseen conjurers hand.
May we find a sense of peace and balance in our lives today!
