time wastes so easily......

Why is it that no matter how hard we try, we end up wasting time? This contract business is harder than it seems, and no I'm not talking about the goofy Oprah contact with myself crap I found online. I'm talking about profound, 180 degrees, life altering, meaningful change.....it's a conscious effort not to let the ongoing BS stop you from moving forward, and even moving you a few steps back. Well, I always view Sundays as a fresh start, so in my best optimistic view, I pledge to the anonymous amorphous anomaly to renew the fight against stagnancy.....wish me luck!

Dylan Thomas said "do not go gently" but "rage, rage against the dying of the light", perhaps because he feared death. In "A Valediction Forbidding Mourning" John Donne knows it's but another passage making life all the more meaningful and worth fully living while we can:
As virtuous men pass mildly away,
And whisper to their souls to go,
Whilst some of their sad friends do say,
"Now his breath goes," and some say, "No."
