SILENCE

Tried to silence my thoughts for 70 seconds.  Since I woke up early, I took my time.  I didn't do 100%, but I did keep returning to the one thought - that I was trying to clear my thoughts.

READING, WRITING

Read for 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says in analyzing money, that it allows trust to develop between social entities; but it also has a dark side - it also CAN allow money to be applied to values (love, loyalty, family, etc.).  There are things we COULD do with money, but they are things we "just don't do," such as sell our children.

Read for 70 seconds in YOU ARE A WRITER by Jeff Goins.  He says my voice is a combination of passion, personality, and people.  To find it, I'll have to spend significant time, and not be impatient. As I take note of my unique style of writing, and of my ideal reader I'm trying to reach, I will begin to find my voice.

Read for 70 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He further explores the fascinating and frustrating aspects of being Black.  His boyhood friends became fierce allies as he rose in his political career, but they also were bewildered that "that guy" could do what he was doing:  becoming President.

I'm quite interested in the questions he asked himself as he grew up:  e.g., What did the girl mean when she told him that he "didn't seem Black?"  or Why did the Black guys in movies seem to always get killed (first)?

***************
Today's the day I go get my COVID19 vaccination at Cal State Northridge.  I hope my arm isn't too sore, and not for too long.
