Not a whole lot to write about today. I've been kind of blah this whole weekend. I'm processing a lot of stuff and, while writing usually helps, right now I just need to think.
I did manage to go for a walk today with John at the base CrossFit gym. He did all the crazy stuff and I just walked in circles. I guess that's something.
I came across a passage in the book I'm reading today and it resonated with me:
“He once thought it himself, that he might die of grief...But the pulse, obdurate, keeps its rhythm. You think you cannot keep breathing, but your ribcage has other ideas, rising and falling, emitting sighs. You must thrive in spite of yourself; and so that you may do it, God takes out your heart of flesh, and gives you a heart of stone.”Excerpt From: Mantel, Hilary. “Bring Up the Bodies.”
Despite our grief, our bodies just keep on living, mostly out of habit.
