Open your eyes, and you'll see a world full of beguiling irrelevancies. So charming. So interesting. So unrelated to your prior obligations. As I am sitting in the reference room, I see all sorts of distractions, suddenly at their peak of interest and charm -- Chinese philosophy, American proverbs, the history of crime, Spanish poetry, lets not get started on people and voices and laughter, the dirt Logan brought into the room on his shoes, the rhythms I can make with my heels on the floor and my pen banging on the table. Stream of consciousness, what is on my mind? pulmonary arteries, visceral peritoneum, A&P lab homework and quiz next period, NO WAIT - dinner last night, that one conversation, that friendship that means a lot, that design I want to work on, the suspense in that life is always moving forward, and it's mindblowing the capacity we have to learn, to mature, to breathe, to enjoy, to think, to love, to live. Focus. Stop. You have lab in 10 minutes. Study!
