Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
I want a break from the hectic schedule that life demands of us. Not a break that's too long, just momentarily long enough to sit back and breathe without having to worry about the next hour's deadlines. Perhaps even a whole day where there is nothing to do but enjoy the day. No classes, no projects, no work, no anything. Not even planning anything speacil just doing some thing at random and with no notice. I want to just sit and enjoy being human and being thankful that every basic need and more is met. I just want a break....
I'll let you know how it goes, I think I'm going to retire from the race a few minutes early today and try to subsitute my work load with walking in contemplation. I'm going to go talk to a stranger at random...
There is in life only one moment and in eternity only one. It is so brief that it is represented by the fleeting of a luminous mote through the thin ray of sunlight--and it is visible but a fraction of a second. The moments that preceded it have been lived, are forgotten and are without value; the moments that have not been lived have no existence and will have no value except in the moment that each shall be lived. While you are asleep you are dead; and whether you stay dead an hour or a billion years the time to you is the same.
- Notebook, 1896
When your watch gets out of order you have a choice of two things to do: throw it in the fire or take it to the watch-tinker. The former is the quickest.
