Day 91 – it’s hard to plug into life at half speed

Sometimes it’s easier to be really sick. Really sick means you don’t do anything outside of your immediate needs (Is there food in the house? Am I developing that old man smell?). Great training for being in the moment out of utter necessity. All the rest of that stuff is beyond bothering with.

Having got a bit of spark back, I tried stepping back into my life at half speed this week. It’s hard not to get sucked into more. Continue reading »
