April 28, 2009
It’s weird being alone with your thoughts. No co-workers bustling around. No radios blaring. No TV squawking. Just your brain and your spirit doing a back-and-forth volley. Replaying past experiences. Rethinking old decisions. Projecting future events. All in a mad jumble, one frantic thought pushing out the old one in a door-busting rush. All the while, watching a soft spring rain turn the grass a fluorescent green.
How to make it end? How to quiet the mind, to bring peace and order to seeming chaos? Repeat the mantra: study, success, master’s teach, excel.
Coming from the hectic pace of a newsroom, my brain must feel it needs to keep up its Olympic triathlon pace. No need, oh jumpy neurons. Make it a time for reflection – a time to slow down.
Learning, reflection and growth – that’s what this day is for.
