strength

This Christmas, whilst the mutant dancer has been resting, I have cooked, written a treatment and a half, walked, watched my friend on TV two nights running, eaten the appropriate amount, not smoked, not drunk much, played Trivial Pursuit, mediated, kept my cool, hovered in my nightie, and above all, had the strength to see wood from trees. Not to play those games which it sometimes seems are an ineluctable facet of our genetic make-up.
