on my mind this morning.

{1} this book. and her words:

we become who we've known ourselves to be. i asked a poet recently what was the first question she asked herself every morning. she replied without thinking, "who was i before the alarm clock rang? who was the stranger i was in my dreams?"

{i love that.}

 

{2} my goals. most days, my mind runs wide and wild. but happiness comes from progress so i either grow or give here. and these goals, when chosen, were my effort to become more in twenty-twelve. so. capriciousness out. assiduousness in.

 

{3} my lovelies. i left for spin early while the night birds were still singing. when i returned home, i found my lovelies completely absorbed, each in her own book. and although they have different *daring* volumes, both happened to be reading studying the furtive art of spying. students by day, spies by night?

hmmm.
