My computer just warned me that it is "running on reserve battery power." The icon is flashing in red in the top right hand corner of my computer, a constant reminder to plug in soon. If I don't, another message will appear. In fact, it just now popped onto my screen: "Please connect your computer to AC power. If you do not, your computer will go to sleep in a few minutes to preserve the contents of memory."
This got me thinking about life. It's weird what prompts these moments of clarity.
Tonight, at this very moment, as I finish a paper and try to find the energy and intellect to read five articles for tomorrow morning's class discussion, I find myself wanting to plug into the wall, if only for a moment, to find that surge of power to keep me charged.
Graduate school. Full time job. Travel. I suddenly feel like a computer running on low battery. I find comfort knowing that I am surrounded by reasons to recharge.
Peace and love.
