When all the world sleeps and you can't what do you do?
Comtemplate... write, paint, try to create some sanity from this maddness....
I seem to just be awake all the time..... When I can sleep it's getting later n shorter.
The Night Has a Thousand Eyes
Frances William Bourdillon says it best.
The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done.
I has lost the "love" I once had for work, I use to have such passion about my job. I miss feeling like I am really giving something back... It's not that I do not think what I do isn't of value. I learn more from Geriatrics then I would a lifetime elsewhere... They have so many stories to tell, such insight to offer if you only take the time to listen and hear what they have to say.
I still teach, and that gives me some reward. I am one that believes everything happens for a reason, perhaps this is my time to sit back and listen, I have much yet to learn......
