The mornings when it is too cold and grim to go running are the mornings you feel king of the world after you’ve done the run anyway.

Too much sanity may be madness.
And maddest of all, is to see life as it is and not as it should be or could be!

There was – and still is – relatively widespread agreement among constitutional scholars that the individual mandate, is in fact, legal. At the same time, that’s not seen as a guarantee of it being upheld.
How can a nation trust its judiciary when the odds were that highest court of the land would vote against the legally correct outcome.

Sometimes I wish we could talk to our own shadows. And they could talk back. Then we’d never be alone. Except on moonless nights.

Solace in Chaos
After yesterday’s heavy exercise, I needed a load of coffee to get myself working today. So, settled down in a cafe to work, instead of my regular work space.
It’s a shocking surprise how much more efficient I’m here in this noisy, chaotic cafe, than I’m at my usual, super-quiet work space.
One immediate reason I grasped upon was the fact that there is so much noise here, that I’m unable to comprehend, and thus get distracted by, anything. In the usual workplace, everything and everyone is so quiet that even a whisper across the hall is clearly audible and understood. Each whisper, each motion, every door opening is a disturbance, a distraction.
Ironic, but surprisingly true, I’ve found solace in this chaos :)
