Got to work early this morning. Internet down. Left work. Now on BYU campus for internet access. I could pay Sprint $1 to use the internet over my phone, but like the atmosphere here on campus so decided it was a travel day. Had loads to finish this morning, let’s see what happens next.
I experience this Jekyll/Hyde thing between morning and night. In the morning I’m motivated. The sun comes up, the weather is nice, the air is fresh, and it feels like a time to be honest with myself and get things done. At night, the sun is gone, everything is bedding down, my energy is sapped, and it’s a lot more difficult to keep control of my mind and focus on something important. So I make now a new resolve to rise early and labor by dawn
I love to read, but I don’t do it often. As my wife says, it’s too easy to be overcome by a story and wallow in words through the hours of the night. But I find myself more and more wanting to do that, feeling to forget my own details and absorb the consciousnesses of other people. It’s impossible to be candid in reality because the feelings of others require restraint. Reading and living another’s life in a way allows me to express myself fully by adopting the impossibly interesting, insouciant sensibilities of book characters.
I’m here in the lobby, and a college student in warmups just switched on ESPN, which is now interfering with my mojo. I got a text that internet is back up in my office, so I guess I’ll go back there~
