Information consumption

Feeling bleary this morning and wondering why.  I've been eating well, I'm over my cold.  Shouldn't I be feeling more vitality and concentration?

It hit me towards the end of my mediation that I was tired because I'd been up late, net surfing, watching DVDs.  Harmless stuff.  But enough to keep me up too late.

Once I've let go of my food addictions, I'm not going to have much choice but to confront my digital addictions.  And once I've done that I'm probably not going to have much choice but to face the things that my addictions protect me from, anxiety, resentment, regret.  All those things that hit you at middle age.

Patience.  That's all there is sometimes.  Just patience.
