"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Choice.


Can't be bothered? Then skip it and let what is loudest or most insistent (inside or out) grab your attention, as you allow yourself to be swept along with this attention-demanding flow.  It's incessant, and sometimes you may find it burdensome --- you're so much at the mercy of the waves.  Still, when you pause, you realize that you have a choice.
