when the feeling comes you gotta throw your weary body down
My body did for me today what I had been asking it to do for months now --wake up. early. As explained to a friend earlier this evening, it began with a jostle, a recognition of the clock and the nascent sunlight; the moment was not lost, and eventually I had the common decency to be stirred from my lethargy.
The moment was seized with a brief 20 minutes of physical activity followed by a fairly leisure, cooked, breakfast. The day sort of went in waves, truthfully. I suppose that is life. At certain points, such as lunch, I could feel some wear and tear. My liquid intake was abnormally high, and yet in the afternoon I still felt the strain on my vocal chords. My excessive lecturing ought be replaced by thoughtful listening, facilitating. I fear the reality is my classroom will have cases of water. But, there is no need to fear.
There were those subtle moments when my natural alarm from the morning was a constant reminder. When I felt low, I had to do what I did in the morning --bounce back. The answer was not to give in; the answer was to keep working, solidly and diligently.
In essence, the solutions of today were those proposed to me many months ago. As long as I stay in the moment, little harm is done. The body has natural intuitions to predict; I can also work to plan to create situations in which more prediction is possible. It is all so simple.
My mood was amazingly positive, I think.
Right now though, I feel beat. But I can't give up; my life is only just beginning.
