Today started out well enough
Woke up at 6am
Weekly gritty Saturday coffee at 6:30am with the venerable,
Rusty Rehl.

Then I slumped around from 7:30 until about 10:30?!
What the heck man,
It was going so well.
It's definitely the first day I haven't ran or biked in well over a month,
& I didn't follow my normal morning routine, 
- because I needed to get out earlier -
so it was off from there.

But I got back into it
I composed from 11am-3pm. - 4 hours - Contemporary Classical, 
Practiced piano - 1 hour
Went to a meeting at the Boise institute for Buddhist Studies.
Delightful.

Got home 
Meditated 
20 more minutes
Yoga
20 minutes
Never - miss - twice.
Never,
Miss,
Twice.

I think I need to go to the vet, 
because this downward dog is getting sick.

The lifespan of the average American male is 73.2 years; 
Thats aprox. 3817 weeks.

If I'm lucky, I have 2125 weeks left - if - 
& I'm not counting on it,
so I better get moving. 
There's not much time left;
not much time left, 
at all.

I will have wrung myself
completely,
until there's nothing left,
and as I make it to the end,
bruised
and bloodied,
short of breath,
and limping
I'll turn my fervid face,
and laugh, 
and laugh, 
and laugh.

For the amateur, action follows motivation, 
but the professional doesn't sit around waiting for anything.
I'm learning to make it my duty to conduct my daily rituals,
so that my muse may visit when they please.
I'll be here.

See you tomorrow.
