Wow.
4 Maredsous on top of a bad night make for one mean Hillary.
Muscles were so tight going into today that I thought every tendon and ligament in my body was going to pop. Worked it out between weights and a punching bag. Still in a dark mood, but...no longer in the I-want-to-burn-the-whole-world-to-the-ground mood. That's a good thing. I feel quite a bit better now.
I've been looking ahead in life, wondering if I'll ever slow down, wondering if I'll ever relax, wondering if I will ever sit back and let things flow by me without trying to impact them. I've over-extended myself for too long. I've grown tired...
Yes, there is a time and a place for activism, for excellence, and for brilliance. I need to learn that there is also a time for rest, a time to wrap your arms around your lover and clear your mind of all your problems--all the world's problems. To smile, breathe in deeply and surrender to the beauty of life, to feel the texture of the earth beneath naked feet, to watch the light filter green through the canopy of trees, to listen to the gentle song of a light rain and the rythmic pounding as it pours and to enjoy the clean smell of the air after the rain.
I spend far too little time enjoying my existence; it is criminal.
