Up at 5am.
Tea and x3 James Clear Articles.
Mediation 20 minutes.
Yoga 20 Minutes.

My new acronym is,

E. T. I. D. W. T.

Even Though I Didn't Want To.

Even though I didn't want to, I did.
Still no coffee, dunno how long that's been.
Working on eventually clearing out caffeine all-together.

Bike Ride -
1 Hour, Barber Park and back.
Listened to Chris Williamson and Peter Akkies.
Completely not what it seemed like in such a refreshing way,
Brilliant stuff.
Peter said something like, 'Most people if you asked them couldn't tell you a list of five core values' - I smiled and out-loud recited,

"PASSION, DETERMINATION, EXCELLENCE, DISCIPLINE, CREATIVITY"

I journal x2 daily,
morning and night,
Specifically on Value Recognition and Evaluation.

Back Home and after pushing through breakfast and a shower with a,

SENSE OF URGENCY

I engaged in compositional studies for 5 hours.
Mostly engraving and continuing the journey and joyous exploration in learning the in's and out's of contemporary notation.

I also found out why the extended technique for the flute where one blows into the sound hole creating a sound like rushing wind is called, 
Aeolian Sound
I'm such a nerd.
I love it.

Practice .7 Hours for my paid gig tomorrow.
I usually do not like performing,
But professionals never turn down a job,

Mediated again at a Recovery Dharma Meeting,
One of us died this week I guess.
First time for me.
So weird.

“I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.”
-Jack London

I'm late for reading.

See you tomorrow lovelies.
