Tonight.

What do you do when:

a) The east wind has made a boisterous comeback.

b) So have the fatigue symptoms.

c) Fatigue symptoms don’t only make you feel fatigued, they make you feel ill.

d) You’re wearing the winter rig that carried you comfortably through temperatures of minus 10, and yet you feel chilled through and through, even though it isn’t freezing tonight.

e) Your old knee injury is complaining at having to carry you up a 400yd slope.

f) The wind is growling sullenly in the little wood by the Old Rectory.

g) You know there won’t be a coal fire to welcome you when you get back.

h) The night is one of those dreary, cloudy ones with no moon, stars, meteors or mist to capture your attention.

i) You’re feeling a bit miserable.

What you do is slip your mind to one side, then look back and observe the experience because you believe that life is about nothing more than being a fragment of the Universal Consciousness just here to observe itself. Then you have a mug of very hot hot chocolate when you get home, and sip it slowly. Simple.
