Not exaggerating the AM difficulty, which comes precisely at the point of writing the mediation. I make it through the workout, Mass, and quick breakfast, and when I sit down in the library, everything sort of empties out. The frame grows numb, the mind goes blank. It is as if the body is under the impression that it is asleep in a bed. And, for all the work that can be done, it might as well be.
For some reason, Skopje has been coming to mind this morning. But the location is almost beside the point -- all of these cities would be worthwhile. The point is that a basic sufficiency somehow needs to be acquired -- and quickly. Jetting off to the Balkans would merely be the logical way of accomplishing this.
