Holding Fast

2 Ramadhan 1429

Another day of feeling tired as the body adjusts to the lack of liquids. Now suffering from a distinct, intrusive headache, though nothing really debilitating. I’m not sure whether it’s easier getting through this at work or on holiday. But then, ease is not the point. A sense of dis-ease can be extraordinarily valuable.

Bright spot of the day: Noi called me into the garden in the early afternoon to bear witness to a group of monkeys scuttering around on the roofs of the houses behind ours. One was carrying a baby. Noi thought they were up to no good and rushed up to shut the bedroom window. I’m not too sure what would count as wickedness for a monkey.
