5/26 Wednesday
Uniform Swap thing, and it exploded to be this 3 hours sweating in the morning, and one more hour in the afternoon. I complained, of course. But, what I complain about then. I signed this up, then I had to get it done. I should enjoy it, even though this turned out to be a hard thing.
体力劳动，透支，第二天还头剧疼。。。
也是昨天果爸忘了接小朋友下学。
临时打电话打小朋友同学家长，也没人理。默默想了一遍是否最近有啥不对。不知道答案。
最近的露营和七月份我期待的Alaska trip，因为人多似乎也不合洽… 想太多不好。哼哼
class 17, wow

you are already whole no matter how much trauma you have experienced.
take a stand, take a seat
your life becomes poetry
Me from Myself by Emily Dickinson
Me from Myself — to banish —
Had I Art —
Impregnable my Fortress
Unto All Heart —
But since Myself — assault Me —
How have I peace
Except by subjugating
Consciousness?
And since We're mutual Monarch
How this be
Except by Abdication —
Me — of Me?
show up in ourselves
Loving the stranger who is yourself
Derek Walcott, Alfro Caribean poet
Love after Love
The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.

Today is the day after the shot day. Still feverish, headache. They are the old problems, coming back as the old good and familiar recurring thing.

6 . Don’t explain your philosophy. Embody it.—Epictetus
7 . You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.―Marcus Aurelius
