Aches & Pains

I felt quite a twinge in my back early this morning. The swubuh prayer was uncomfortable and driving into work was mildly iffy. After that things steadily improved and now there's only the memory of vulnerability.

My back is so much better than it was five or six years ago that it's hard to credit the improvement. Even feeling the twinge this morning I was confident things would be okay. Of course, there'll come a morning when they're not okay anymore but until then I'll enjoy time's mercy in providing days in which I can still enjoy a measure of something approaching health.

Quick afterthought following yesterday's entry: we've been pretty good at making this world a hell for many of our own species also.
