It was a surrender to peace, a surrender to nature, just a surrender, and I need to surrender more. I've been fighting so much with fatigue – and it is a fight... one I often lose and fall asleep in the chair... or wherever... and then I feel guilty for doing that because of all the things I haven't done because I was asleep... but it just happens and there's nothing I can do about it.

Not worry that neither of us are doing anything (though I know that drives Mir crazy), just the chance to be...commune...rest...
