Today we sat in silence side by side for 60 minutes at the Quaker meeting for worship, and, as usual, it was an inspiring time for both of us. Every few minutes, one of us reached out to the hold the hand of the other -- sort of a way of sharing the inspirations we were receiving from the silence. 

Later, we went to the Y, where Cia said she got a seriously sweaty workout, and where I at least pedaled and pumped for a few minutes, with my lower back aching all the while. But ... I am very optimistic. I'll be out walking and riding with my Cia much sooner than later!
