Little Wonder-mints

I recall being a sophomore at Hiram College. On the whole, life was good and boring, and this moment I recall was no exception.

8AM, weekday: I'm sitting in Molecell (Molecular and Cellular Biology) listening to Prudy go on and on about my least favorite topic: THERMODYNAMICS. And everyone in the class was drifting in and out of sleep, no question about it. I can sum up everything you will ever learn about the topic for you: The world is moving towards chaos at all times, and we are always trying to create order despite this. Nature--life--prefers disorder in any situation, and it takes energy to overcome this progressing towards chaos.

Ok, are you asleep yet?

The point is, today I was thinking about how often life is pushing us towards chaos. I mean, things have been sort of calm for me lately, for everyone with a few exceptions. I've expended a hell of alot of energy to bring my life to some semblence of order and peace. And suddenly these little voices, these urges, are welling up inside of me and telling me to be honest, ask questions, grab hold of opportunities. There's a fire under me, and I don't know who lit the match.

Oh well, in general, life is supremely good. My ego has healed, I have plenty of opportunity to "live it up" as it were, in the 3-week. These really are exciting times, and I'm happy that the human mind dulls old pain after awhile--slowly but surely.

The truth will set you free.
