Freefall
All leaves fall away
From the branches that lift them
For their only flight
I liked it and wanted to reply. So I did.
What is the meaning
Hidden in these words of yours?
How to understand?
The leaves fall away
Because the tree doesn’t need
Them in the winter
Once served their purpose
What use are they to the tree?
Good compost coming!
Today I’m feeling:
Dizzy though my brain was fairly active once I woke up.
I went to Utopia and sent work for my students to do, though I expect very few of them to bother.
I chatted with Bruno for an hour or so, but had to concentrate hard to stay focused. I talked more than I have in a long time and quickly got tired, so I came back home to rest again.
Health:
Physical: 6
Mental: 6
Today I’m grateful for:
Kru Jern again for following up on her class to send me the work I assigned them today. Only one student submitted my work during class time.
The best thing about today was:
Reading comics. I didn’t do much else!
What was out of your control today and how did you handle it?
I found that my order for cat food got cancelled, though I haven’t received any refund yet. It’s annoying as we have almost run out and it may take extra time to get more delivered.
