Goodnight friends! Briefly blue and promising morning, but the brightness was swiftly dimmed by a low clammy ceiling of clouds, the air thick and prickly with droplets even before it started to rain in fitful sheets. Fallen leaves slide and wriggle underfoot and cling wetly to shoes.

Still not 100% recovered from post exercise twinges, but like yesterday I felt able to draw and write, not extensively but with a feeling of ease and freedom despite encroaching pain. My girlfriend came by for a visit after work, so grateful to still have regular contact while I’m feeling a little stuck between permanent living situations.

May we allow ourselves the fearless stillness and openness to learn deeply from the experiences of others today!
