Contemplation
I have a three day weekend, but I am not entirely free of work. I was actually expecting at this time to be officially unemployed, and so I had gunned up my mind to prepare for the period in which, free of reins, it could wander and become creative as expressed through the many words I type into the ether. Instead, I have been extended on my current project by a couple weeks. This has resulted in some disorientation, especially considering what is due Monday at the office.
I have missed all of the Tai Chi lessons I signed up for at the local Y except for the first from working overtime. I have let my room become a mess, and don't have any slacks that have been drycleaned recently. If it had not been for my recent discovery of Groove Salad, I would have cosiderably less peace than I do.
This photo, taken by my father during one of his monthly jaunts up the coast that I always seem to miss, reminds me of the kind of peace I need to achieve. There is something elemental in the meanings that scene evokes. It's something I now realize I must have as soon as I can spare a string of hours.
If you are reading this, you probably need that something too. Hope this helps.
