The Ink-Pot and the Palette

You know, it's funny you should mention that, because that thought flitted across my mind the other day (before disappearing in the fog). I remember reading somewhere that even varying something as basic as the sequence in which we towel-dry our bodies after bathing or brush our teeth can prick the consciousness into being present again.

My life, I realize, has become so deeply routinized lately that almost no consciousness is even required. For the most part, that routine is good for me, resulting in a better diet, a tidier house, and a more peaceful, orderly life.

But come on! I can at least ride home from work on a different street! Thank you for the suggestion. It's very helpful and I know it will make a difference.
