geesh I am long winded these days. I guess it is serving as a kind of release for me these days.

When you mentioned the tree Sun I thought about the big old cedar tree in my yard. It has a section in its trunk that kind of caves in from the ground up for about 6 feet. It is the perfect place to lean into and feel hugged by the tree. I sometimes will go there to pray or meditate on my breath or just offer my appreciation for the tree. Before I leave I give an offering of tobacco by placing a little bit of it in each of the 4 directions at the base of the tree. Giving thanks to Great Spirit and the Grandmothers and Grandfathers.

I hope your sleep is more restful tonight Sun. I know I could really use a good nights sleep too. I am sure it would help reduce some of our anxiety.

Any thoughts of going to the doctor and seeing if this is med related? I am pretty sure my out of wack thyroid has contributed to mine. I am hoping the new dose will bring me some relief soon. We aslo increase the Limictal so I am hoping it will kick in soon and lessen the mixed episodes and overall anxiety.

No formal sits again but lots of moments of mindlessness resting with my breath.
