[41] The Memory of Persistence

Even when you’re so tired that you feel your head buzzing, as if already in a dream. Even when the dishes aren’t done, when there are emails to be sent, miscellaneous items to put away and teeth to be brushed and all you want to do is leave everything out in disarray and for tomorrow — there is reward if you persist anyway.

To sit in discomfort and to write just a handful of words, this is the memory of persistence: yours for keeps, in writing, never to be distorted.
