Aurelius once wrote, "If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."
My fundamental concern about this wisdom is that it fails to spot the physical root of trauma. People who cannot snap out of their distress also deserve compassion and treatment.
My apologies for the intrusion. Locals informed me about the recent chaos and I found myself concerned and a little hesitant about reaching out. Back home I treat those who approach me for support with their mental health. I had excellent resources there but here I can offer nothing but a listening ear.
I understand some of you might be feeling exposed, stressed and intimidated. To you I offer my own wisdom. If you worry about what lies ahead, you will be the only one who suffers in the end.
To all else, kind regards for listening.
Oh. Reading, isn’t it? This system is entirely new to me. What a brave new world this place is.

[ It took her a long time, as the only woman attending medical school at the time, to remember she was doing what made her happy, regardless of what anyone else thought. It came with sacrifices, mainly in the area of being a mother to Bree. But that's a different discussion. ]

Indeed. I suppose that is why some find it hard to find happiness in others. It just doesn't look the same.
[Or sound the same, smell the same. It's always nice to imagine what their limits might be. At least those are often different between one and the next.]

But afford me a few days then ask again. I'll be inhabiting suitable accomodation by then, I assure you.

Still, I am anticipating paying Nocwich a little visit come the end of the month, was it? It should be interesting if nothing else.

[ She's made friends here, certainly, and while she's here she'll continue to live and give this an honest go. But she aches for Jamie, and she's let herself be miserable in the hours the farmhouse is quiet and everyone else is asleep. ]
no worries!
[Perhaps he, too, would depart as hastily. His thoughts keep turning towards his research, towards files, notes and projects left unfinished. It keeps him up into the early hours.]
