I know I'm compulsive - I've told you guys before. So compulsive that I built a database to hold my quotes. Sad, huh? But, I enjoy scrolling through them with little reminders of joy and peace. There a few depressing ones in there...but mostly they are ones that make me smile in some little way.
Every Wednesday I drive the same route to work that I drive most days (unless I have a craving for a Burger King croissant). There at the fountain are the war protesters mingled in the midst of the homeless people lined up for morning coffee and doughnuts at the church. I wonder about the protesters. There are four. The same ones each week with the same signs. Why only on Wednesday? Why only four?
At 4:30 every morning I wake-up with an urgency to pee - you could set your alarm by it. It's so weird and I wonder what Jung would make of it...but then, he's also the one that said "sometimes a dream is just a dream." I was remembering dreams for a while but I'm back in that cycle where I don't remember them. I'm not sure what that means.
I sit here in the quiet at work. All I can hear is the click of my keyboard as I write this jumble of words. There is a hum of the air conditioning clicking on and in the distant background I can hear a soft murmur of voices, speaker phones, and footsteps down the hall. The loud talker is out of the office today and my boss and I are the only ones in the office on my hallway. Its soothing in some ways - almost zen. My mind roams and sometimes trips. How is it that I work better with lots of noise than with little?
My office is so quiet it's like a library sometimes and every tiny sounds breaks my concentration. When I have to really get my brain working I go and sit in the coffee shop where the noise level is constant and doesn't interrupt.
ReplyDeleteAnd there is coffee. And cake *grin*
Watch that spider bite... make sure your clean it good. I once got bit and it developed into an infection and I had to have it cut open, cleaned out and packed and a lovely staph infection followed... be careful!
ReplyDeleteOuch. Hope your bite feels better. A quotes database huh? Wow. I might consider doing that, and maybe even start it, but I know I'd never finish it, just like I never finish any of the other millions of things I start. Maybe it's War on War Wednesday?
ReplyDeleteFoxxx: mmmmmmmm, cake - I should have gotten some of the cake they had at lunch.
ReplyDeleteFifi: yes, I'm watching - I'm very scared of spider bites. But you know what works good on them? Natural too - raw potato.
Megan: War on Wednesday - excellent point.
