Focused Life

In the wake of all the turmoil of moving and starting classes and a new work situation things have subsided. I’m still doing an amazing quantity of things. However, it is incredibly helpful that they are now only two categories. I am either working, or reading. I am working, or doing school work. It vastly simplifies what I can, and cannot do. No more wondering “what am I going to do”. Whichever path is least resistant, or more important at the moment gets done. It does not much matter if it is 8am on a Sunday – I’ll usually be reading. Nor 7pm on Wednesday – I’ll usually be working.

It reminds me of a famous phrase from poetry that I was remind: “eternity is now”. There is no before and after. It is all the same. All is focused. The eternity of my work and reading is always now, it was before, and it will be for some time.
