For One I Love

You do not need to shine.
If the feeling is too much
then neither do you need to rise.

If the floor is all you can manage right now,
if all you desire is to hide
beneath a blanket of darkness
that is fine;
you have no obligation to be at your best.

Listen to the voice within you,
the one that is silence,
the one that is rest.

Taken at the same time and place as Mike's, but with a different bird.

Gratefuls:
- prayer walking down to Mourão, and chatting to folk
- Morango Bar being open again (though windows still broken)
- Tom (son-in-law) getting the job he applied for
