Meeting the day as the day needs to be met is all that is ever asked of any of us. What keeps that from happening varies around the room. You will have to speak for yourselves, but my excuse is a profound lack of clarity. If the day were only more obvious about what its needs are, I would be more likely to be responsive. If I got more cooperation from the day, the day would have more to be happy about from me. As things stand, the day ought to be glad to have what it gets from me. Guessing what the day wants is just not how I want to spend my time. I have my own obligations and interest to care for. I do well to remember what I'm doing in the grocery store. And there is the time I spend in silence and solitude! That would be a great opportunity for the day to break into my revere with a suggestive hint or two. I give the day plenty of time to get my attention. It has to be a lot more proactive if you ask me. An itinerary with my morning coffee would be very helpful. The days have been at this for as long as I have. If they refuse to do better, they have only themselves to thank for the outcome.
