The quiet corner

This afternoon my optician noticed a twitch in my eye.
“Stress” she says, “I see a lot of it these days”, and added 
 
“It’s our uncertain world and young people are particularly affected (she mentioned eating disorders and self harm).  But it’s all age groups.”
 
And this morning our yoga class included a meditation session for the first time on self-compassion. (Basically stop beating yourself up).
Of course M was cynical” how to stop feeling sorry for yourself.” But of course it’s a lot more than that. 
 
Covid has got a lot to answer for.
