I have finally mastered going for a snooze! It took many years into my retirement to let go, admit I was free, lay back, and feel sleep come on, without the nagging panicky feeling that I had left this or that undone. At last, after a heart attack and three strokes, I can leave that subservient position in the world and just sleep when my body calls for it. In my lifetime I have served many masters, but none so demanding as my own conscience! Now at deaths door, I see how very foolish I was and wish to let you know that it was all in folly, Moments away from the fray are few and far between and very very precious.

Thanks, this is awesome. Yes, it seemed kind of funny to see it in writing… but it is something we all forget to do! Or not do. Ack. Anyways, I love it.

Might that be finally a sort of meditation I can enjoy? Besides running.
