look at the world with a slight skew

I had a weird dream about Korean twins. The next day I woke up and saw the Virginia Tech killer’s identity revealed for the first time. They looked exactly like him! Same glasses, skin tone, hairstyle, eyes.

The modern world lives by appointments, beginnings, and endings. It’s all runned by the clock. Seconds before when the hand strikes that hour, we don’t realize it, but shifts of action occur hour by hour like packets of inspiration.

"I'll meet you there for coffee at 1 o'Clock." 
"My interview is at 9 o'Clock." 
"This class starts at 8 o'Clock. Not 8:15!" 
"Please get this done by 5 o'Clock." 
"I set my alarm for 7 o'Clock." 
"It happened around 2 o'Clock." 
"It's 8 o'Clock! Show's starting!" 
"Set clocks one hour forward... then backward." 

Same time. Same place. Everyday at __ o’Clock.
Next time look at the clock and remember the world moves with you.

I took my final exam for my Yoga class today. I thought I did alright but later I realized I made a lot of mistakes. You know what? For the first time in my life I really don’t care. I know I won’t fail the class, even though I had to struggle a bit with my heart condition to keep up with my classmates. I know students cry kicking and screaming if they get a B-. It’s not the most important thing in life. Just try your best. Five years later, the importance of getting straight A’s will be so remote to you, when you realize you can direct some of that energy in being okay with yourself. Who’d want to go on living life under the illusion that we are failures if we don’t meet someone else’s standards?
