Intake Turns to Overflow

When I am tired, I go into "intake" mode. I read books, watch new movies, listen to talk radio, read the newspaper, sit in silence... absorbing as much as I can. I find this practice to be incredibly refreshing for me. This is how I recover. (Note: the frequency of school days off in the spring, also helps in this recovery!) 

While the length of this process may vary in nature, the end is incredibly abrupt. It does not  transition or wean, but rather stops unannounced and shifts into "overflow". Overflow is exactly what it sounds like: when all that I have absorbed, received and taken in... simply comes out. 

The following posts (and those to come later this week) are signs of my overflow. 

I hope you enjoy them.
