Heavy

This morning in bed I reached a state of mindless heaviness which was utter bliss. I was absolutely still, had no thoughts other than observations on my physical state (honestly, this is not usual for me, three or four trains of simultaneous thought plus continuous self-observation is more normal), and felt very heavy, as though the heaviness was pressing me firmly down in bed and preventing me from moving. I don't know whether I COULD have moved, because I didn't want to try. I sort of tried to go back to sleep, in a passive way that was more like allowing myself to go back to sleep if that happened, which it didn't.

Then the feeling went away.

I hope it happens again.

Mars really IS actually RED

We saw it this evening, there over the railway bridge, between the chimneypots, just sitting there in the sky, all planetary and red and something huge like eighty million kilometers away or something. Fifty million miles? But there, just past the end of Salisbury Road.
