Quiet Tuesday

All around the house,
People were sleeping.
Dreaming lil' dreams,
Snoring lil' snores.
Only the fan's rattle
Made much sound.

It is at such a time that
Richard makes his appearance,
and writes his post.

Besides using the microwave,
and asking to use a computer,
he hasn't disturbed anyone
too much.

He still smeels like a candle,
yet to be lit.
Shower time after this.

But interestingly,
this is the quiet time of
Tuesday.

He is very lucky, for
while he works
the Graveyard Candle Shift,
he comes home to the silent,
peaceful house afterwards.

The quiet time, early in the morning,
is perhaps the best time to think,
to clear ones thoughts,
eat some warm, yummy egg soup,
sit down,
be still,
think.

Sometimes it becomes introspective.
Sometimes you just continue your thoughts.
Sometimes there isn't much thought.
And sometimes you write blog posts.

But I find it wonderful to savor,
at least occasionally, that morning quiet time,
even if its not in the morning,
and even if its not that quiet.

It's very much like when you make
a right choice,
or finish a task;
where you step back
and think, "Yay. :)"

No "!", no "booyah",
just a quiet, peaceful
"Yay. :)"

Sometimes when faced
by/with a decision
(especially for me,
as most can witness to)
one can get stressed.

Which one is right for me?
They both seem ok.
But this one seems safer.
But that one looks better.
And what if I choose the wrong one?

Pretty soon, things don't look right,
you wanna do both, but cannot.
The pieces are not fitting,
and you basically are waiting for
the time to run out, and then
choose using eenie, meenie, miney, moe.

But that's what quiet Tuesday,
or any day, is for.
Like the settling water,
things get clearer,
easier to see.

Not that things will always
make sense.
This is not the fix-it-all solution
to making choices.

But it certainly does help.

Plus, you get to hear yourself for a bit.
...But that's a whole 'nother post :D

Silly me: Ate peach cobbler and egg soup for breakfast
Silly People: Are still asleep :D
No, you're not silly :D

Love you all
