It’s Late

Slept until 1:30pm today. I hate let­ting the day go down the drain like that. Of course, there’s plen­ty of time in the day to do a lot of things – I’ll be going to Alame­da soon to see Erik’s new deck and maybe watch High Noon.

I got a few more chap­ters from the Tao Te Ching tran­scribed today. Chap­ter 16 real­ly jumped out at me in a very intense way last night, and I think that’s part of why I got through the oth­er chap­ters. It real­ly feels like a good prac­tice to me.

I’m a lit­tle bit dis­turbed by how easy it is for me to stay up so late work­ing on things. It’s hard for me to get to work ear­li­er in the day. I guess I need to come to bet­ter terms with my own dai­ly rhythms. I love morn­ings, but it takes a lot of dis­ci­pline for me to have morn­ings and then get going.

I’m going away to Tas­sa­jara in a few days, and they’ll be mak­ing me get up at five AM for morn­ing med­i­ta­tion. I guess we’ll see how that works.

I’ve been play­ing with the temp­ta­tion to shave my head for a while. I know Erik has clip­pers. Maybe today? Maybe I should wait until I get back from Tas­sa­jara? Don’t know. Have to play this by ear.
