Today will be better

Yesterday was a bit of a crash-and-burn -- seriously not a good day at work, seriously not a day I could walk away from with satisfaction -- so today's bound to be an improvement. I am super-committed to still working the mauna. I probably would have benefited yesterday from not speaking, might have turned out better, but enough regrets. Time to start again.

This morning I finished reading "The Weight of Heaven" by Thrity Umrigar. I am still thinking about how I feel about this book (which says something already), but I do particularly like a quote she includes in the Acknowledgements:

Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.
-- Virginia Woolf

Me, too!
