This afternoon, just before sunset, I felt the need to leave the house having been at home all day. I think this is the hardest part of convalescing from my tonsillectomy. The required recovery from surgery, and the pain, are keeping my energy at a very low ebb. My usual antidotes of walking outside do not seem to be working as they usually do.

However, I set off around the park, wondering how I was going to see this through in any sort of grounded fashion. And stumbled over these tree roots. Of course! I just have to focus on my feet and their connection with the earth. Like these roots. It doesn’t matter if I am inside or outside.

Turning around to the west, there was the sun in all her end-of-day brilliance, her “God rays” spreading out around her:-)
