The evening shadows move around me as I watch the setting sun
The warm vestiges of daylight caress my face just before its gone
It the pinnacle of the day, as the golden shower turns to dusk
Tranquility stills my mind as I savour the solitude but for a moment.
And here I stand, motionless, unable to take my gaze away from this beauty.
What higher purpose can there be that can take the heart with such soft caress
As in that moment there is no time, famine or warfare.
No chores to do or planning for tomorrow.
No history to pull you down with its weight of a lifetime past.
There is just peace, a transient reminder of what eternity holds.
Your only purpose at this very moment is just to except it
And let it linger for as long as you dare let it.
It brought you here to resuscitate your belief in life.
So let it do its job and reset your inner calm.

$#*£ Resilience
I was going to relax this evening. Tune out, hunker down, look after myself. I need it. I am exhausted. Thoroughly used up. And it's only Wednesday. Not even half way through the week. A week that in the UK, is Mental Health Awareness week. I don't know who decides these things, who gets to co-opt a day, a week, a month, and declare it a thing about a thing. But I do know a lot about mental health. I know a lot about mental health AND I know a lot about working for the UK's National Health Service. And so it was with interest that I clicked play on the below video, earlier today. By the time I finished, I was in tears.
