waiting for eternity

i cannot wait for eternity because then i can actually do the work i want to do - all the time!

I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will never have enough “time” this side of eternity. That’s why I’m thrilled that I have all of eternity to continue doing the things I love – to continue learning and reading and enjoying life. To explore and write and dance. To create, to discover, to produce. To rest and to play. To love and to enjoy. I may have only so many years here on earth, and who knows how long I’ve been granted, but I’m not stressed over it, for the things that I don’t accomplish here, I’ll continue to pursue on the other side. (from above linked piece)

it’s not that i don’t like work or working (it’s not as if i want to go on a never-ending vacation - i would be bored within the span of a week) - i just don’t like always having to do what needs to be done. three day weekends would be sublime because then i could more fully attend to the things that are on my agenda, that are important to me - writing that book, writing the articles, doing research, going to school for further education, organizing my house from top to bottom, teaching and creating…

but the time for those things is so limited in the grand scheme of things…so that’s when i find myself dreaming about a sugardaddy (tongue in cheek!) or some great financial windfall that would allow me, not to not work, but rather, to spend my time doing the things that matter to me…rather than those that matter to a world bent on making money. (hello, cynicism!)

yes, i’m an idealist, and yes, i know reality is anything but…but a girl can dream, can’t she?

waiting for that day…
