Some random lyric in my head
Did you ever have a partial song or quote going on in your head, and you know it full well, but can't quite make out what it is? That's what's going on right now. It's most likely the last song that was on the radio on the way home, but you never know.
I'm waiting for my pot pie to cool to edibility (and if it wasn't a word before, it is now), relaxing after a hot shower and a decent workout. The gym is coming along okay. It's time to call the trainer I paid for and take advantage of that. It's also time to go shopping again since there's pretty much nothing here except cereal and some tuna.
Today was an excercise in patience, right up until walking in the door at 1015 or so this evening. In less than twelve hours I get to get up and do it all over again. Hopefully I can manage to get out of bed at the desired hour; enough for some time to take a jog along the surfline and pick up some groceries before work. The 1030-730 schedule is still kind of weird to me (after years of 630-330 / 7-4, but if I'm discplined enough it allows for a very good schedule. No traffic, some extra time outside, a little peace and quiet. Getting home way late kind of messes with my mind, but it's for a good cause - I'm getting closer to not having to buy an entirely new wardrobe. Rent is also due in a few days, how fun. Come on payday.
Other than that.. it's time to reflect on the thirty spokes composing a wheel.
When people see things as beautiful, ugliness is created.
When people see things as good, evil is created.
Being and non-being produce each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low oppose each other.
Fore and aft follow each other.
Therefore the Master can act without doing anything, and teach without saying a word.
Things come her way and she does not stop them; things leave and she lets them go.
She has without possessing, and acts without any expectations.
When her work is done, she take no credit.
That is why it will last forever.
