Three things make a post

1. I recommend this essay from the latest Meanjin: 'Seeing Landscape', by Jennifer Mills. It covers a lot: the training of the eye and mind to an art form; climate change; the peculiarity of loving the australian landscape as a colonial presence in it; lazarus taxons; motherhood and daughterhood.
2. Related to item 1, I have booked myself two nights away in a small town out from Sion. Ideally, I will go there and do Not Work, and Not Internet either. I'm feeling at the moment like I haven't shed the exhaustion burden, like I'm hovering on the edge of burnout but a little bit back from it, close enough that it's always in my line of vision. Maybe this will help. Or maybe the amount of rearranging I will have to do in my life to get everything planned and sorted to take that time off will be worse.
3. I went to the gym today, second time in a week, and it was not terrible. Baby steps.
