Morning reading:

"And surely he that could sometimes sit down with high improbabilities, that could content himself, and think to satisfie others, that the variegation of Birds was from their living in the Sun, or erection made by deliberation of the Testicles; would not have been dejected unto death with this."

Pretty awesome. Feeling much less upset, still strangely alert, up very late, on watch for something, woke some time ago tense & clear-headed. The sky last night was quite striking, very clear air, with fast moving, roughly diamond shaped clouds.
