Odysseus took more than one trip.
ReplyDeleteWho knows the intensity on agony, indecisiveness, raw emotions, passions, internal battles which he kept controlled, but experienced under his seemingly calm exterior?
Rising at 5:30 because he couldn't sleep past 4:30 (EST) and facing travel, intense heat, informational interview, newness and then THE wine, he mused, "Did I really seize the day...........or did it seize me?"
Pondering indecisively, 'is my glass 1/2 full or 1/2 empty" he then shouted, 'FILL it wench. I am absolutely too hot and thirsty to care!"
