.:Motivation

I often tend to question my motives
(and timing for actions)
Such as what spark causes me to fall out of bed (finally)?

I could lay in bed for quite some time
mulling over the day ahead
and not actually live it.

We have a finite amount of time,
a finite amount of things we can do,
a finite number of things we do well.

So when I have an exciting possibility
a film that needs to be edited       
why do I drag?
and other times           
can’t wait to rip into the material?

Perhaps sometimes it’s better to not delve too deep into motives
and see the cogs and machinations of what makes us, us.

But that’s another topic for another day.
