Update
Well I just came back from an exciting bike trip. Rode 600 miles accross Nevada and California with MK.

When I go to sleep at night I think about the heat, the wind and smell of the desert blowing in my face. However, every day my memories get dimmer and I submerge back into my regular routine.
Now I'm in Connecticut visiting my parents and here at home I come face to face with myself. Its only 10:00 pm on Saturday night, but everyone is already sleeping. So I am forced to think. Strangely enough I had no time at all to think on the bicycling trip even though I was sitting on a bike for 10 hours a day and pedaling.
I recently finished my Ph.D., even though I still don't believe it and now I am looking for a post-doc in computational neuroscience. I'm not sure if this is the right decision. Perhaps I should try to aim for a more financially rewading job, but somehow I feel as though I can't. Perhaps I'm just afraid of the unknown, or may be its something else.
When I was riding a bicycle for 10 hours a day my body was exhausted and I could feel almost every muscle in my body, however my mind experienced the wonderful lightness of being. Everything was clear, I had to keep pedaling and keep looking around to take in a mental image of my unique surroundings. I had no other goals. However, now in the comfort of my home, my body feels numb, but my mind is aching with thought.
