on postponing for later

i realize that it's not always a bad thing (nothing is, in fact). when i was in india last, i was intent upon finishing all of swami vivekananda's complete works before my trip was over. i could only get to the 7th (of 9) though (each one is about 530 pages long). now that i return to reading his works online, i find so much joy in the realization that there is more of him to read that i have not yet read. i now take my time. i will get through the 9, but perhaps i could slow it down to a year before i'm done...

and when i am done, no doubt i will find joy in the realization that i can now begin re-reading from the beginning, and discover the lines in between then :).

oh life, do you never run out of rewarding experiences?!
