Oh! Oh what I would give for just what I 'ave.
A day in the sun, time to write, time to think.
Good and proper food, high health, no vice, no drink.
There's much t'be said 'bout a youth well spent,
but I've been on a philosophical bent.
I'm better for it, now, I would say.
On surer footing; so I don't dismay.
Where others find fault,
While others still strive,
I just appreciate being alive!
We may breathe the same air,
We may walk the same Earth,
But I find every moment,
Just itself, has it's worth.

Buoyant bubble bobbing
Skin of fiberglass
Pushed by wind through water
Just for time to pass
With no destination
Floating just for fun
We will go out yachting
Below a cloud covered sun

Roll along, pick up speed. Lean in to the turns and feel the Gee's. There's nowhere to be, but it's a shame to stand still when you can go so fast and feel a thrill.
Work your way up just so you can drop down.
Chart a smooth path as the wheels turn 'round.
The rush of the rush, the blast of the blast.
Remember to smile as the world shoots past.

Let's try, throw down some words. Don't be picky, let it flow. Whatever's inside bring it out. Pen on paper, go, go, go. Open up your thought container. Tip it over spill content free. Notice what you made and now remember: for each written thought say 'It's not me.'

A moderate amount of pain. Just enough to make everything difficult without laying me flat completely.
No agony or torment, other than of the frustrating sort. Increased cognitive load, reduction of the ability to move freely. Just a moderate amount of pain.

Honestly, it seems I can't avoid it. Ergonomics are important; & oh how long I have looked. The desire brings me back again and again, triggered by physical need.
If I buy the keyboard will I be done with this quest?
Or will I, like so many others, have my passion ignited brighter? There are many possible avenues of further interest. Delightful, or practical, but are any worth my time?

The main thing is concentration. If I can carve out the time AND concentrate then everything just flows. But if concentration is fleeting, then the way forward becomes murky. Progress is slow or halts.
In deviation we find creativity, but creativity needs a container.

World, you're too much! So full and so varied. I don't think these few scritch-scratches on paper will ever hold a candle to you. Useful triggers for engrams, maybe; even recombining them perhaps; but representing truly new information of the experiential type doesn't really happen with written words. The view from the top really is indescribable. You can frame it with descriptors, sure, but without seeing it yourself they only convey a sense of how the writer felt, not what they felt. The best the words do is to help frame perspectives. Spinning the mundane into something truly wonderful.

Flexible is a lot easier when you can plan ahead. Nothing like a nice well planned day; but that's not being flexible, is it? I can be a lot more flexible when all my tasks for the day are done and my needs are taken care of. I'm not very flexible am I?

Wulp, I'm 'fully' vaxed. I do wish 'fully' carried some weight and referred to more than just this one astounding virus. Some enhanced general immunity against a variety of diseases would be rather well received. Add in boosted resistance to pollutants and allergens and who would say no to that? Inject away I'd say.
Supposedly regular exercise does do these things. I'm a fan.
