today’s passage: about him being back in japan for 2 weeks
it made me feel both demotivated and motivated to read that there are just some people with innate writing talent, i think me not being one of them. i have to work hard at learning or getting good at almost anything. i find doing something every day is helpful. even just for 10 minutes, but it takes time. time i don’t have.
i did like the concept of never going more than two days of not exercise. i feel this is true, my body becomes stiff and i feel like i’m starting over if i have even a 3 to 4 day break from yoga or at least some sort of working out.
it’s pretty nice and crazy to have a connection to people you don’t know but pass by each day, like in the case of people you see all the time on a course, is there anybody like that for me? i do feel a sense of ‘something’ with our kempton neighbors, although i really don’t know them all that well. what about the people across the street at piedmont place?
should i try to write 3-4 hours a day, that’s pretty crazy, and yea i don’t think i have the mental or physical stamina right now. maybe just start with 30 mins? and i’m not sure, is there an activity i can tie back to writing like how he does running. he said when he passes by long distance runners they all look like they are thinking something. i get the complete opposite sense, they all look really miserable, but maybe those are just the beginners…
