220327 What I learned in my studies this morning 2

The music — listen! —

O, night you . . . you tantalize! 

A thing worth doing! 

Daily Stoic:

I sell my life a moment at a time for trinkets and trifles worth nothing. 

I have an hour. I spend it — spend it, use it up, let it go never to have again — watching a TV show that barely entertains, if it entertains at all. 

I have a day. I spend it — trade it, turn it out, let it expire until the last second has lapsed — playing phone games and dozing, gaining nothing. 

I have a year. I spend it — exchange it, give it up, fritter it away until I blink and I'm writing the wrong number on my checks — treading water, standing still and making no progress.

Time to reread How to Live on 24 Hours a Day by Arnold Bennett. 

Time to just and simply pay a-fucking-tention to what I'm doing.
