Everything seems to be a burden, frim opening my eyes to throwing off the blankets. Even locking the front door is a daily battle. Living west of where I work would make my commute even more of a battle than it currently is. Fighting the sun in addition to fighting traffic, construction, and everything else would only throw another enemy upon the field and I'd have to find the energy somewhere to overcome it, or die. I'm very often at the point where one more tiny little thing would break my spirit and make me decide to go live under a rock and sell pencils for a living. So the fact that you choose to face this battle on a daily basis leaves me with envy and awe of you. And then you go and make it all poetical and prosaic-like. You make this look easy. Awe and Envy, Ciff. In my life, one of the most difficult things for me to do is to get up every morning and go to work.
