Perhaps it would be more accurate that I sought to get my Covid-19 booster shot (got the flu vaccine last month), and the sign was there. Although I am a low user of Western medicine other than dental and vision care and generally decline testing in the absence of symptoms I cannot resolve through common sense things appropriate to the issue, I make sure that I am vaccinated for all contagious diseases. My medical choice is no longer in any way just about me.
PS Is your tetanus shot current?

Watching the Clouds Dissipate
Tonight (technically very early tomorrow morning), will be the first full lunar eclipse on the winter solstice in 350 years. Part of me wants the sky to be clear so that I can witness this extraordinary event. The other part yearns for a cloudy forecast so I can stay warm in my bed at 3 a.m. without feeling that it would be my own inaction that led me to miss the eclipse.
I think we all feel this way about our practice sometimes. We want to have the great openings that come from a deep and steady practice, but it would be oh so nice if they came without effort. And an excuse not to practice that comes from somewhere out of our control makes it so much easier to accept not getting the benefits.
Unlike a cloud cover blocking our view of the moon, though, there aren’t many things that actually prevent practicing, although they might change what kind of practices we can do at a particular time in our lives.
