Nevertheless, I'm going to try and start challenging the latter more because the reality of my health is that it is variable, and I think I just need to start Doing The Things on the basis of that.
I'm feeling called to make a doll for the Winter Queen, and I think the imagery here is really something about winter as an unwanted houseguest - something that has moved in and needs mollifying respectfully over the weeks and months, so that it stays satisfied. Or, perhaps less highfaultin, a large knitting project to create a decoration is the sort of thing I can do meditatively, it's Something, it's What I Can Do, and it represents a kind of commitment, and a kind of a future (decorations come out every year); it isn't nothing.
And as much as those first two maxims are true, "something is better than nothing" must be third among them.
