The monotony of being unwell. Always something out of reach. The sudden bursts of anger, the fever curve of pretend energy followed by exhaustion. Maybe it's all just my imagination, oh leave me alone. And always, another go at it. This is what it takes to be alive.
The moment you accept what troubles you've been given,
the door will open. (Rumi via fb)
 On my way to work, strange creatures look at me in the forest. So strange I snap my pictures and cycle off quickly.

Multi-eyed and multi-clawed but brainless big monsters.
Good on you to have spotted them.

Powerful words - I feel the exhaustion you convey. The photos are really interesting... what sights!

I see creatures in the woods where I walk too. They are the ancients of the trees, aren't they?
Oh Love. I wish you were not in pain.

That feeling of always something out of reach, I think I know it also but I don't know what to do about it. :)
It's like the otherness in the woods that we can often feel when alone in nature.

Such wonderful, creepy beings you have hanging out in your local wood! You're very brave.

In every sense. Do take care.

I am sorry to read of your exhaustion, but elated to see that you find such curiously beautiful faces in your woods. All the trees see you and wish you health and wellness.

the words i hold here: "and cycle off quickly." to me, those four words are a door, opening.
