warp speed
My life is now moving along at a blistering pace. There aren't enough hours in a day anymore. I know something curious is up when I decline that second glass of wine at dinner so I can get more done in the evening. I can't believe the rate at which interesting opportunities seem to be unfolding before me. Every so often, I worry that this isn't a gigantic burst of synchronicity that's propelling me, but a bad attack of mania. Maybe it's all in my head! What if it all vaporizes and I crash? I'm trying to be ok with that. It's very possible, maybe even probable. I'm trying to recognize that it would come as a relief, in a way. It's tiring holding all these balls up in the air. Hard to imagine some people spend their whole lives living the way I have been for the past six months. Hard also to imagine that, this time last year, the biggest decision of my day was: AM-walk on the beach and PM-write or AM-write and PM-walk on the beach?

Don't forget to breathe! And although I don't have easy access the beach, I do have a similar choice of activities for my day today: walk and write.
Ach, I'm so jealous Janeen. Never take that freedom for granted. I did squeeze in a walk today, but it was more of a wade through snow to find food for hungry kids. And yes, I'm breathing but only short pauses rather than long sits. Just enough to remind me of what really matters.
