I should be in bed, but I am not. I have not felt well today, or yesterday either for that matter: a little lightheaded, a little unsteady. I’m not sure what it is, if it’s a bug I’ve managed to catch or some internal imbalance of my body’s own making, but it’s unpleasant and unsettling. I am not one to fall ill easily, and so when I do find myself feeling unwell, it’s usually a sign of something severely unpleasant which is to come.<\/p>\n
Not always, however. I must remember that and not convince myself of the arrival of an impending illness that might not roll into town.<\/p>\n
And yet here I am, wrapped in a warm blanket and curled up on my sofa, listening to an old concert of Bruce Springsteen’s from the 1970s, something Nikola had slipped into my mailbox the other day while I was out, and I am drinking tea and considering getting up and going to bed. I am so comfortable out here however, and the Boss is singing of desperate love and moonlit escapes down unlit broken streets, and I find the motivation to get off the sofa and climb the steps to my room slipping further and further away.<\/p>\n
So maybe tonight I will sleep here and see if the healing powers of Springsteen and the thick cocoon of my blanket will bring me back from the brink.<\/p>\n
There is healing everywhere, if you open yourself to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
