All is calm, all is bright

It is 4.12pm and I am still in my pyjamas. I'm not ashamed. It's Christmas week after all.

There are busy and hectic days, and there are days when our need is to rest, retreat, hide, vegitate. I often forget this.

There has been drama in recent days: drama consuming friends of mine in ways which make me wince. I have sat and listened and inwardly wept, and shared their pain. I've also said things that probably weren't very helpful, and been less patient than I should have. I'm not sure who said life is not a dress rehearsal but they got it in one. Friendship is at the very heart of what it means to be human and so I count it a rare and delicate privilege. It requires empathy, intuition, sacrifice and wisdom, but these necessitate self care and nourishment. And chocolate for breakfast.
