It starts with tiredness and dehydration. The throat begins to feel sore. Sinuses are dry.
In the fall perhaps it’s ragweed. In the spring, myriad possibilities.

It starts with a comment, spoken or read. From acquaintance or news source.
Distraction or tiredness allows the thought entry into the mind.

Practicing disciplines of study, prayer, worship, gathering with guides, and our emotional and spiritual rhythms will be restored.
