I vowed to uphold the pact with S about waking to the flipside – all good – but sixth night in a row of no sleep and it was hard to hum sunny side of the street when the clock hit 6AM – although with two dogs now awaiting their walk – it wasn’t a linger in the bed and be woeful type morning – it was more like, damn I want more sleep and these dogs want to go out and you have no choice but to move. But I found this in my bedside drawer as I dug around for my Vitamin E cream to put on this horrible burn I got a couple of weeks ago – burned a hole in my finger – do you know how regenerative skin is? – my skin covered the hole – hard to believe – but it is still magenta colored so hence the E cream – meanwhile back to the point – here was my wake up missive found by way of a tear out from a magazine read a while ago:<\/p>\n
Things to Think<\/p>\n
Think in ways you’ve never thought before.
\nIf the phone rings, think of it as carrying a message
\nLarger than anything you’ve ever heard,
\nVaster than a hundred lines of Yeats.<\/p>\n
Think that someone may bring a bear to your door,
\nMaybe wounded and deranged; or think that a moose
\nHas risen out of the lake, and he’s carrying on his antlers
\nA child of your own whom you’ve never seen.<\/p>\n
When someone knocks on the door, think that he’s about
\nTo give you something large: tell you you’re forgiven,
\nOr that it’s not necessary to work all the time, or that it’s
\nBeen decided that if you lie down no one will die. <\/p>\n
