Timothy, I hope you are well today - no, that's unfair - I hope you are better, even if just a bit.

I have a demon making my body my enemy - we fought through the early morning hours. I was so sick and shouldn't have been. Did nothing to cause it. Just was. And, now in the mid-morning light, I'm weak and worn and have a day of work ahead.

We have demons - sometimes, for a while. Yours are different than mine, but I know you are weak and worn, too. Though you may not want to admit the weak part. We are all weak - just in different ways.

It's not fair, but what is? Like you, I feel I'm "paying penance from crimes I can't recall" - but, hell, it's not that simple. Maybe, we're paying for crimes that humanity committed. Maybe, it's some huge cosmic sin debt. Maybe, we're just "being" and give it all too much thought.

Thinking is exhausting. That's why I take a walk sometimes and leave my thoughts at home. Occasionally, when I return, I can't find them. And, the peace continues - for a while. But, there's always another walk waiting for me.

I have no answers. But, I'll always share questions with you ♥
