Good tired
If you read the site yesterday, you saw pretty much the only coherent thoughts I had all day.
Try as I might, I couldn't string together anything more sustained.
In short, sheer exhaustion.
That rarely happens for me, but I guess after the past few weeks it was inevitable.
Now that I'm up and working again, I'm reminded of an old interview with Harry Chapin, a musician who was a social entrepreneur long before folks today discovered blending charity with business.
My grandfather was a painter. He died at age 88. He illustrated Robert Frost's first two books of poetry. And he was looking at me and he said, "Harry, there's two kinds of tired. There's good tired and there's bad tired".
He said, "Ironically enough, bad tired can be a day that you won. But you won other people's battles, you lived other people's days, other people's agendas, other people's dreams, and when it's all over there was very little you in there. And when you hit the hay at night somehow you toss and turn, you don't settle easy."
He said, "Good tired, ironically enough, can be a day that you lost. But you won't even have to tell yourself, because you knew you fought your battles, you chased your dreams, you lived your days. And when you hit the hay at night, you settle easy, you sleep the sleep of the just, and you can say, "Take me away"."
He said, "Harry, all my life I've wanted to be a painter and I've painted. God, I would have loved to have been more successful, but I've painted, and I've painted, and I am good tired, and they can take me away."
Now if there is a process in your and my lives in the insecurity that we have about a prior life or an afterlife, and God (I hope there is a god - if he does exist, he's got a rather weird sense of humour however)...
But if there is a process that will allow us to live our days, that will allow us that degree of equanimity towards the end, looking at that black implacable wall of death to allow us that degree of peace, that degree of non-fear, I want in!

What is a Fine replica Paris Hilton watches The process of buying a Clerc watches replica is very confused as there are too many types and styles and brands to choose from. Luckily, the variety of styles, price points, and types of Tag Heuer watches available make it possible to find a replica Baume and Mercier watches to suit each person's individual needs. The more choices there are, the better for us to find a good Cartier watches. Beyond the designation of men's, women's and kids' fake Raymond weil, timepieces can be categorized by the type of movement, metal or leather bands, and by style. Today most replica Esq watches have highly accurate quartz movement, but classic mechanical workings can still be found, especially in Triumph watches. Price Point is the first decision you need to make when you start shopping. Quality replica Giordano are available from the $30 to $40 dollar fashion price point, and luxury timepieces can be as expensive as an $80,000 diamond encrusted Rolex. For fake Activa, check out the Christian Dior replica from momocheck.com. Their Glitz model, at $65, was featured on Oprah's O List for 2008. Another TOCS model that really stands out is the Ani-Digi Solar Alarm Chrono model. This fake Accutron is solar (or indoor light) powered and also has a lifetime battery backup. On the luxury side of Vacheron Constantin fake shopping, the Titanium Men's Tissot T-Touch is an example of a sporty styled Daniel Roth fake. We priced the Raymond weil watches at $595.00 momocheck.com. This is great status fake Pulsar, with a sporty and technical style. replica Casio models retail around $11,000 dollars for basic models and are the most classic example of the DandG watches as status item. When you are wearing a fake Bulova watches, everyone will know the quality. They keep their value forever. replica U-boat watches remain highly collectible. After deciding price point, the next thing to consider is the style. Both men's and women's replica Franck Muller come in an array of styles from sporty to elegant. fake Graham are perfect for an elegant evening look, or you may prefer the sport look of a divers fake Patek Philippe. There are also technical models with digital displays and advanced features. Looking for something with a geek charm reminiscent of the 1980's? Try a replica Festina. Amazon.com sells models ranging from under $20 up to $75.00. One of the most important decisions you will make when replica watches shopping is the type of mechanism. One man we know requires a self winding replica Rolex Sea Dweller with no battery. He literally cannot keep a battery running in a fake Paris Hilton for more than a few months before they burn out. For this gentleman the solution was a Citizen Eco Drive. Citizen is one of the most popular Richard mille watches replica manufacturers in the world. The gentleman described above wears a Citizen Eco-Drive WR-100 with a titanium bracelet. A similar fake Bulova is available from Amazon.com for $255.00. If you have the experiences of shopping in different areas, you must know the great differences of shopping in these different areas. You may like to have a special fake Rolex Milgauss for evening wear, and an everyday Chopard watches for work.
