Drear

turtle by Sag.

Is that even a word?

Again with the dreams.  They continue to be intense and action-packed.  Happening for sure right before I awake around 6am, but perhaps going all night.  Hmm, I just checked the Dragon's Way book and between 5-7am the Large Intestine is 'in charge'.  Makes me want to delve a bit deeper.  3-5am is the time of the Lung.

When my eyes opened, I turned the alarm off thinking I'd rather fall back asleep.  I felt the drear.

But, as very flimsy thoughts of 'Qigong is the base' moved around the discomfort my body was feeling (no doubt tired from digesting the parts of the meal I didn't divulge last night: tomato gorgonzola soup, bread and butter, lime rickey, pumpkin pecan pie :-), Gem walked in.  In the time it took him to trot to bathroom and back, I decided to get out of bed.

I pulled open the shades and the dark pavement was slick.  I remembered it's supposed to rain and snow today.  More drear made clear.  Me + low pressure systems = low me.

But, seeing Baxter always gives me a lift.  He arrived yesterday morning and is with us till next week.

So, I am off to practice, to widen the channels and let some energy flow.  Get rid of some carbon dioxide and reconnect with the Universe in a more intentional way.
