Got sidetracked this morning by a posting by Wanderlust regarding Israel’s West Bank Barrier that set me thinking about my own reality and level of tolerance and understanding versus taking a strong position. This led to the question of self-centeredness and apathy, and the relative importance of finding time to research (ever the devil’s advocate, and never one to do anything half-ass if possible) social and political questions over which I honestly don’t feel I would gain any control, but would at least gain insight, which of course, would lead me right back to tolerance and understanding.
At any rate, it put a severe kink in my creative thought process as I am of a more sober and somber state of mind when forced to face reality.
With any luck, I’ll shake it off by mid-morning and get back to flights of fancy with occasional dips down to earth so that the checkbook remains balanced and tonight’s dinner becomes a reality.
