Staying the Course
Having just re-read “Exceptionism” and “Repressed, renewed…” in context with one another, I’m surprised at the prescience and solidarity demonstrated by my subconscious.
The similarity and reiteration of themes is impressive to me. One of the first areas to suffer as a result of my sleep disruption is memory – my journal especially reflects this, with repetition of large areas and ideas across multiple entries even chronologically close together. Can’t keep it straight for some reason, and/or should start to re-read recent entries before I try making a new one (which isn’t always possible).
Back to this, though: somehow the underlying currents remain true. No matter how scattered I may feel on the surface, the deep water currents have a unified and predictable flow. This makes me happy, and gives me hope that some anchor will prevent me from drifting too far, and a proverbial compass (to make the analogy complete) guides my course – even if I’m a little to dumb too see it on a day to day pace.
I should spend some time far removed from the cares of my own life, get a high level view on things. AKA, I need a vacation.
