lying in bed

various trains of thought pass through the mind as one lies in bed, possibly to prolong the getting up/starting the day process :). here are some of them:

1. i marvel at those who find inspiration in life's littlest things and then store that inspiration within to motivate action. in particular, a friend told me last night about a paltry email that had inspired her years ago. what was not paltry was her retention of that seed of inspiration over the years, leading to action now (or in a few days). i am moved at her inner strength and positive spirit. (and i won't divulge more details because i know she's reading this too :).)
2. talking with n&c is always a pleasure, always enlightening. yesterday's conversation brought with it several insights, one of which presented a novel line of thought for me. n mentioned (and i paraphrase) how if we continue to act with deep resolve and purity of purpose, we find ourselves on firmer ground with our actions. that is, over time we find that developing a practice of deep, pure thought that effects a meaningful conduct makes us less indecisive in the long run, helping to attain greater clarity of thought in terms of overall action. this makes sense, and makes me aware of changes i had not attributed a causality to yet. enlightening perspective, n.
   

and now that i'm completely absorbed in this train of thought, i've forgotten the myriad other things i was going to post about. so much for numbering :). i thought i'd reach a 100 in no time :). time to start the day, then.
