For me, a close second to "being" as tiring is the exhaustive list of maintenance both personal and property. It's why as we get older many tend to join living associations to avoid the unending stream of painting, lubricating, replacing, cleaning, repairing, etc. Too bad there's not an association which, in our absence, takes care of the personal maintenance like sorting medicines, medical appointments, grooming, fitness etc. I'll keep the eating though.
The village idiot, the fool, the simpleton, the crazy. All these are, as you say, necessary guests at the community table. Shakespeare was the master of putting a fool to use, over and above their title, and showing their true value in a world that often found them valueless.
"Letter to someone you’re leaving behind" - Heartbreak, and beauty, laughter, and tears. Just as it should be when it comes life, and death, and memories. Plays on all the heartstrings that one.
eeeeh this batch is extra good!
I miss my younger body, before injury and bursitis and gravity struck. But youth? No. Dear heavens, no.

You seem a trifle melancholy this week...

Being and LISTENING to all the voices, including the ones in your head are tiring. I may well be the only one who hates podcasts. 😬
When I’m dead …
