With coffee and writing implements at hand, I can determine the shape of today. |
| I tend to write in the morning. After morning coffee and writing comes whatever the day holds...work, more writing, family time, reading, maybe even some gaming. It just depends...but writing first, always. And once I start writing, I get an idea not only of what I'm writing about, but how the rest of my day will go. Hence, the shape of today. |
| Here is a treasured rarity: a day off work when I don't have to go anywhere. It's still warm enough that I was able to leave the windows open all night, allowing fresh air in. Yes, that means enduring more pollen setting me sneezing and coughing, but that's the price you pay. I'm also enjoying the songs of birds as the sun rises. Yes, that means also enduring the endless racket of the highway with its traffic, but that's the price you pay. There's a lesson to be learned in these musings, I suppose. To attain life's pleasures, we must endure life's unpleasantness. One could argue that there's only so much unpleasantness one could endure, but I don't want to waste my precious time on that. The sun is up, the birds are singing, and for the moment at least the highway is quiet. I've got chores to tackle, and hopefully my mind will tackle its chore and help me form a story to write. As Gandalf told Frodo, all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. |
