The very second I put down my pen, I began my process all over again. I've been getting up at 7 o'clock (am). Why? Such a dangerous question. If I were to wonder why I comb my hair, I'd have the answer. If I asked myself why eat meals at 7:30, 12:00, and 5:00, I'd have an answer. But I don't know why I have answers. Why do I care when I eat and how presentable I appear? I fear someday I'll wake up and ask why I should wear pants, or why even stand? That day, I might crawl to the front porch, and carry a newspaper and slippers to the dog.

Don't question the daily stretch

Ever question your life? I do. Sadly, I don't own a dog, but I'll get one again.
