Lethargy
What to do when lethargy strikes and I don't want to do anything, when writing this is a chore. Chore is a horrid word. A word of dullness, of repetition, of mindless task, of routine. Work becomes a chore, at times, as does life. Could it be any other way since most of what keeps us going bears elements of chores: eating, sleeping, bathing, brushing teeth, etc. To live fully under spontaneity is impossible. Ah, but where's the dancing?

Sleep is spontaneous. One never knows what dreams may come. Eating is a roller coaster of digestion. Bathing is a place of imagination; water births inspiration, at least for me. Teeth brushing - well, you've stumped me there.
ReplyDeleteBut writing, yes somehow, sometimes, writing does feel like a chore; only, however, when I am looking for validation.
