I started the year going all out on physical and psychological health. I’ve never lived as healthily as in these 4 years.
In return, my brain regaled me with atrocious nightmares. Really bad nightmares, when for me. There’s a lot of raw meat in them. I carry it everywhere and then eat it.
That’s what I get for living a healthy lifestyle.
My brain is a bastard.
If your mind is untroubled by such meat during the day, and remains an effective tool, perhaps it is instead doing its work as a valued player on Team Clarissa.
The world is a terrible, nightmarish place, full of great evil, and wrongs that we are helpless to right. The which could easily drown one’s spirit, and make all the extraordinary goodness, beauty, and acts of loving kindness invisible.
