| | What is it about half-consciousness that sparks the imagination? I love mind-numbing work that is so mechanical, you can use that small part of your mind to daydream. That fatigue forces the mind into a creative state where all sorts of ideas are formulated. My mind forms poetic and beautiful ways to describe the situations I'm in, which is exactly what this is. My sleep-deprived mind is the most poetic and emotional part of me. I can paint beautiful pictures and heart-wrenching prose at the point where my head throbs and my body aches for sleep. But when I wake up after a sleepless night, I dread the day and all that it contains if it is not sleep. At some point I find that comfort if I am numbed by mindless labor... An ironic way of life. What about giving your all during the day and sleeping sound at night? Yes, that is a beautiful thing. That is the goal. But if one finds himself in this cycle of mindless, day-to-day work, there is comfort in that too. Unless it is only for a season, it just won't get you anywhere. |
