Why do we give in to our unrest?
It's as if, whilst the hour of creation approaches, we become aware of a prevailing sense of angst, a wall in which we are too short to climb over. Every possible excuse becomes ONE, as fatigue, and unrest, and misdirection, and vagueness fight against us.
As I am feverishly creating, sculpting, reading, writing, understanding, devouring; it is then, that I find myself, fighting myself for all control of my being. I cannot help but feel overcome by something and ravished by another.
Take last night, for example. Last night possessed the ideal framework for a perfect evening of thought and discovery. I had a number of hours all to myself in which I could read, write, think, and/or create anything. ANYTHING. Time was of no concern. I had legs that could run any distance, and I seemed to possess the endurance of a cheetah. Time was of no concern.
Multiple pistons were firing off, simultaneously in my mind. I was ready to engage my Creator.
But this is where the purpose of me writing this comes out: Even in my well-placed circumstances, I fell to idleness, to laziness. In my most (potentially) creative hour, I gave in to, that which seems to constrict everything I wish to be, everything I wish to pursue, everything I wish to do.
I failed.
