Little Roads

Life Reduced To Its Simplest Terms Is Time--Weeks Months Years Of Time With Which To Do Theoretically As We Choose. I Say Theoretically Because Practically Speaking By The Time We Have Matured Enough To Make Wise Choices We Have Already Chosen Paths Which Have Greatly Restricted Our Free Time. Imagine Being Given Four Hours Three Times A Week That You Can Count On To Do With As You Please. What Would You Choose? Would You Choose 1: To Be Entertained 2: To Listen To Great Music 3: To Read Great Books 4: To Contemplate And Meditate Upon The Meaning Of Life Or 5: To Write And Share These Musings With Others?. Well We Dialysis Patients May Not Realize It But We Have Received That Gift Free Choice For 12 Hours A Week (As Long As You Don'T Leave The Chair). Entertainment Is Big Business In The Us And Most Choose That. However I Choose All Of The Other Four. Writing Is Difficult Because My Fistula Is In My Right Forearm But I Have Learned To Construct A Document In My Head. Laboriously On Three By Five Cards I Print With My Left Hand A Few Words To Remind Me Of What I Have Thought Of As A Paragraph. Later I Can Quickly Recall And Type It Up On The Word Processor. Actually I Find Sharing These Pieces With Others To Be The Most Difficult Since I Can'T Get Around Easily. Perhaps Others Have The Same Problem.
