The only difference between a grave and rut are the dimensions. \u00a0Oh? \u00a0At least when you’re in a rut you can still breathe. \u00a0Breathing means hope. \u00a0Nothing definite, for sure, but hope.<\/p>\n
This cliche points at a perceived truth, that being stuck in sameness is a living death. \u00a0And you can certainly how that might be true. \u00a0Work at a convenience store, come home, warm up a tv dinner, grab a beer, fall asleep in the recliner. \u00a0Get up and do it again.<\/p>\n
Or drive into the city, park the expensive car in the expensive parking slot ride the elevator up to a posh office, direct, command, leave and drive the expensive car home to the expensive house. \u00a0Get up and do it again.<\/p>\n
Sure. \u00a0That can mean a restricted, narrowed way of greeting this vast opportunity called life. \u00a0But. \u00a0People like me find certain routines soothing, they pave the way for creative activity, for hard concentration. \u00a0Routines allow the needs to be taken care of. \u00a0That way the non-routine acts of writing, scholarship, thinking, close looking and reading can happen on their own rhythms.<\/p>\n
I like the bowl of fruit, some cottage cheese and a tomato in the morning, reading the paper, having some tea, then heading downstairs to start work. \u00a0I suppose you could call that a rut, the food boring, the repetition bland, I find it nourishing and centering. \u00a0You say cereal, I have tomato.<\/p>\n
My opinion? \u00a0Pick your routines and habits carefully, make sure they support the things you do that matter the most, not the other around. \u00a0Then reinforce them as much as you can. \u00a0If you’re like me, that is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
