I arise from rest with movements swift
As the beat of a raven’s wings
I arise
To meet the day
Wa-wa
My face is turned from the dark of night
To gaze at the dawn of day,
Now whitening the sky.
– Iglulik Eskimo Song
OK, so this morning’s movements weren’t quite that swift. Unless you think of them like those of a raven soaring the thermals. :)
In other news, this morning I put on a pair of bike shorts and they FIT! The way they’re supposed to. The leg hems didn’t curl up the way they did last summer. The abdomen area is even loose (and they’re made of lycra, so that means something)! Small progress, I know, but it makes me feel good.
