WAKING UP...

... in New York City. A disorienting experience, having woken up just yesterday morning in Los Angeles. You step on a plane, you arrive on the other side of a continent, three time zones away, just five hours later. It's just plain odd, for the human mind and the human body, which are not yet fully adjusted to such time-space wrenches. Going to bed at 11PM was like going to bed at 8PM. Waking this morning at 6:30 was like waking at 3:30AM. It's just not right.

It was comforting, and a little orienting, to do my morning sit. Things do get straightened out that way. I'm, after all, just here. And now.

Looking forward to a chilly day in New York City. Chilly for us, at least. Even at 5 o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles, it's 59 degrees Fahrenheit. So says my I-Phone, infallibly accurate when it comes to time and temperature. And 42 degrees in New York.
