I’m in the middle of a water fast (no food for a period of time, only water). I find that lots of good things happen when I do that, but there is also a certain amount of tiredness, as the body gets busy carrying out repair work.

Weirdly, after being excited, as mentioned in a previous post, about being back with my guitar after our trip away, I haven’t had much inclination to write songs, or even sing along with my old tunes during this period. Almost unheard of.

Maybe I needed a fast from that too.

But I’m relaxed about it all.

Seasons come and go, and the things that we desperately want to do or change, change. Even if only for a while. These days I’m a lot happier to watch till the good inclinations return, or wait till the bad moods drift away.

Sometimes, even with the matters we are responsible for, we simply need, responsibly, to let go.

Ooh, look at me, all Zen like.

But it’s probably the only way to be, when so much else out there is looking very Un-Zen. A theme well addressed in this song by Bush.
