Lyrics and potions of my thoughtful mind

5:30am

Never changes track

It's early, real early. I've woken up and can't get to sleep again. Hoards of thoughts and ideas are going through my mind - about people, jobs, situations but more than that, about possibilities.
Then it strikes me, my life has always been about these possibilities. It's been like that since I was 10 seconds old. Every day I want something new, every time I go out in the evening, every time I meet people, everywhere I go something has to be different. It's like I crave the ever changing nature of life.
I know I could ever go to a class and be happy doing it every Tuesday at 7:30pm. I don't think I would ever be content meeting the same people at the same pub at the same time every week regularly, I would get bored.
This anti-neutrality of situation pervades all aspects of my life. You will have noticed it most with my job situation. Or should I say situations.
Change, constant change, variation, lack of sameness, rotation, movement, vibration. All is good.

If the most torturous fate
was a mind, caged,
who would understand?


If you always found life's elixir
in striving rather than getting,
who would understand?


If you gambled rather than nest-egged
and hit jackopt once of seven,
who would understand?

(from 'The nudist on the late shift' by Po Bronson)
