Thoughts by moonlight

[image error]

I’ve been thinking about what about my life is noteworthy to record. For example, there are many night walks I go on. It’s beautiful in the moonlight, and there’s something special about the early hours of the morning, and about the cats too- stray ones, and those with collars, and black cats- that seem to develop a curiosity of me- perhaps they see me as one of their own. I saw one- We each took a street and walked side by side for a few houses, she would disappear behind a car, or in between street lights. After a while she crossed towards my side, and when I looked behind me, she looked behind her. Some feeling of being in this together, which is a special feeling.

Of course, all this is forgotten my morning, and the only memory left is that I took a walk at night, and this is how banal my life is. I thought of other things to, like the philosophical concept of death, and I thought about different ways to journal.

So, how do I journal right now?

1. I keep an Evernote mostly of day to day thoughts like the ones above.

2. I keep another written journal on to dos, which aren’t lists but more a visualization of how I’ll view my day.

Taken as a whole, they help keep me centered, and I do recommend journal-ling as a way to keeping one centered. There’s a surprising about a self insight to be gained by flipping through the writing, and you might find an insight or too about life. Or something. The process itself is therapeutic.
