A gentle week, mostly.

Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point.

The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the whole hour.

Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land.

Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does.

Slowly.

Not a number and not a competition, and still: well done. Quietly.

Please do take that to your GP rather than waiting for the next review. Not to frighten you — just, go.

No wisdom, just: I am sorry. That sounds genuinely hard.
