I'm getting sick. I can feel my throat constricting, my body waning against wakefulness.
I took a bath filled with too much peppermint oil and emerged freezing, my skin ice from the mint. The weather is 80-some degrees, and I burrowed beneath three blankets, a winter coat, and two towels to try to get my body back to normal temperature.
My body is failing me, and I am emotionally tired, but my mind is a tornado. I have been doing a lot of work on several projects, some new and some quite old.
I found a crow two days ago, sitting in the grass beneath the shade of a large oak. An unusually inquisitive squirrel circled the crow several times, staring, sniffing, before bounding up the trunk of the tree.
I walked towards the crow, and clumsily, she stood, favoring one leg. Her left wing drooped, and she would fall over in her attempts to stand, to hop, to fly. I held her in my hands while we waited for animal control. Her body was exhausted and perfectly still, while her eyes shifted about, looking for her next move.
My body today is in a similar state, my mind searching for an opening to fly.
