I am well, yes. Thanks for wondering. In fact, the strong recurrence of CFS which I have suffered of late has receded, as mysteriously as it came. I have a new energy, thankfully. So, why no post yesterday?
I felt that I just couldn’t write so late last night. I’d spend the day pondering the longer version of the Narcissus myth, and I am so impressed with Ovid’s sagacity. It’s a brilliant wisdom document, with riches enough for a book of its own. So, partly I was, to an extent overwhelmed by the wealth of resonant detail, and couldn’t sense where to go next.
I had also spent some time painting, which took up some prime writing time, though, I have no regrets about that; without painting (or growing lettuces, as Thich Nhat Hanh has said) relevant writing would not happen.
I could also think of a host of Buddhist teachings, which could accompany such a rich story – but what to include would depend on where to go next. So, for the first time since early June, I didn’t write my daily post. However, dear Reader, I was immersed in the subject. Today, I’ll set aside some time to get a felt sense of where to go from here.
