Exhaustion. I came home today from the first full day of school and took a nap. Oh, yes, I thought, I remember that little thing about juggling twenty four personalities for 6.5 hours. It wears you out.

This morning I got up at 5:00 and slipped down to the family room. I took some time to meditate and actually managed to swim in the cool dark stillness underneath my thoughts. Nothing bothers me in that wide deep space. I love the silence. I love the darkness. I'm drawn to it again and again.
