03/19/2002 Entry: "Sort of Days"
We all live these strange lives, with behavior that's both unique and typical. I've had three days of sitting here, not completing a lot of work, and generally not using my time how I'd like. This time has been frustrating, and unproductive, and I'm anxious to get outside, get soaked in a quick rainstorm, step in some mud, and try hard to make photos that are original.
In my boredom, I did a search on one of my old professors, who I'm fortunate enough to keep in touch with, and found these beautiful words about an experience he had while observing chimpanzees.
It reminded me of a few things. First, that we still have a lot to learn from animals, and that humankind's destruction of their habitat in the pursuit of wealth bodes very poorly for future generations. And secondly, that there are larger problems to worry about than my stressing about work and money.
