everything around the house ready for sleep. this is the calm of the storm. i made it
another day down while also worrying too much about the end of days. the end of time.
i do not just want to see it all as just another day down. i do not think it is that, but simply
the idea that i do not have to do anything else now. but breathe. i could write a list
of everything i've done from yesterday to now. something about making lunches, doing homework
getting through every road and way and direction to every spot i needed to be. teaching (that could
be a whole other thing that requires sometimes the drinking and writing) and each task
and problem along the way solved. to reach that day down check mark. its doable. it happens.
i've watched the various instruments we interact with report various numbers that indicate
some kind of statistic, dollar spent, or moment counted. it all happened to here. to the
kind of lighting a house knows right before its fully shut off, right before. thinking,
hey, i can order a coffee right before i have to be somewhere, and watching the
clock just keep ticking; i messed up, i messed up, that could / can / like a moldy smell
problem that you don't even know where to start with starts. but its night still.
don't let our minds runaway from us. the kitchen still bright;
it is possible that a final snack could be required. some last dish stored from sink to dishwasher,
or not, depends on the dish and type. what about the floor. on a day like this, weeks of tired,
do i even bother with the Sisyphean task of cleaning the floor. almost nobody even home the
entire day, so its still pretty clean right? right?.
when the wind stops, when the night is the sounds of cars moving almost ethereal in the dark only lit
by momentary flashes of street lights; i summon the tranquil nature of a brilliantly beautiful part
of my core i can run so fast to, so utterly peaceful and open. like eyes squinted in ever present
wonder. the outline of all the plants in darkness its a silhouette. same as the sleepers, and all the furniture
once those lights do shut. you always wonder, did i do right? was it a day well spent? am on the right
track. what moments of glory do we strive for to not even wonder. to know we are the hero and
we were truth incarnate. we choose wisely, not poorly. what dreams we have as winners winning.
do not eat late at night. it will ruin everything tomorrow.
good night amigos,
julian
