Impressions: Day 2

Boot up and get ready for the day. Eyes open for just a moment and already the calculations begin. To-do, have to-do, want to-do, lists of lists, checks and scratches. What's possible and what's not. A spiral bound for darkness open and waiting, the path to light not yet found. The same drums pounding over and over in my head trying to figure out how in the midst of our realities madness. Two steps from self and suddenly it's much bigger and much worse. How to focus with so much noise. Lasers shooting at a target somewhere in the distance, far out of sight. So much in the docket, never clear. Hopes and dreams far from today, living somewhere in the past. Want, need, mixed so badly together that it runs like a river through my head, flooding all other thoughts from the shore where I stand. So long in the same process with no end in sight and a beginning long forgotten. Think too much and get lost in the labyrinth, forget about it and find freedom in action. Round and round it all goes. Nothing old, nothing new, just an endless remix that we all sort of recognize. I am and and you are, what's the space between us? Why one and not the other? What's the difference? Over and over the same questions, relentless.
