Today is a good day.

What a lovely morning. A crisp cool autumn day, beautiful blue sky, refreshing and sweet. Having had the day off yesterday I was relaxed and ready to start the day. I also slept well which always helps.

On the train I discovered I'd forgotten to pack my phone. It forced me to pick up the book I am currently reading, Ulysses. P and I are reading it together. I've been dragging the chain a little I must confess. There are passages I've read that make me go a little gaga. I have the feeling I should start afresh from the beginning but worry in doing so, the meaning still wouldn't reveal itself. I get glimmers of meaning, get distracted then just read words on the page. Like viewing a beautiful scene through thick fog. It helped that I didn't have my phone this morning, no distractions. I listened to: Stars of the Lid while reading

This was perfect.

I did eventually leave Stephen on the beach, deeply immersed in his stream of consciousness. I relaxed, let SotL sooth the rest of my journey. Today is a good day.
