Sheltering in Place

[Drunk Monk]

The morning star (Venus I guess?) has been very bright lately, and lots of stars at night. 

Counting stars by candlelight
all are dim but one is bright
The spiral light of Venus
rising first and shining best
On, from the northwest corner
of a brand new crescent moon

690: Kung Fu but my practice has been really off over the past few weeks. I've been neglecting my daily qigong and have suffered for it. My allergies have returned and my legs are stiff and feel like lead. It's been a major downer. If my qi gets constipated, I'm miserable. It's been weeks since I've been able to express qi. Hopefully I can breakthrough today.

Tonight we have tickets to the symphony again. We bailed on the last show because Omicron was surging so we just  wrote it off as a donation to the arts. But now it seems to be subsiding so we'll probably risk it. It's masked and everyone needs proof of vax to enter. Plus its the symphony so everyone is older and more cautious (hopefully). We really need to get out and do something fun. All this sheltering in place is really getting to me.
