The Way I See It #76

The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating - in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.

Waiku (um, Walku?) No. 1, Through the Glass Wind Chimes

Quiet, dark, alone,
no more my music playing.
Walks now are "training".

I don't want to appear completely derivative, so I'll give credit where credit is due. Thanks to The Old Bag and Doozyanner for the haiku/baiku seed. Most of my life I've been called Type A, tightly wound, perhaps even controlling . . . it's nice to see something that amuses me and put my own twist on it. I don't need to own the patent on everything.

In my ears right now: Precious Stones, of course. I blogged about it. Now I'll play it obsessively for days. The Bruce Willis tune, ". . . when I loosen up and down inside, de feets starts to slide . . . ."

Something that charmed me today: David, in staff meeting, giving the home dudes a delicately worded dissertation on bathroom etiquette. We all share just one.
