Reference points and perspective can change so quickly and thus they seem to change a persons reality as well. I walk around the track here every day at around sunrise and watch the sun come up, color the sky, light my path and I wonder why i didn't do this at home everyday. I have come to appreciate the hour and half I spend walking so much, and it has taken on a major part of my life. Had someone told me 3 months ago that this would be the case I would have shrugged my shoulders and said, really, I don't think so. But here it is and it has. Similarly if someone had said that you would be eating dinner at 3 in the afternoon everyday I would have looked at them incredulously and said, you must be mad. But here I am and this is the way it is. Walks at sunrise and dinner at 3 Pm, not of my own choosing but part of my reality now. There are many other small things that have happened that I would not have believed before my incarceration would happen, not missing food, not missing scotch, not missing TV, who would've of thought. Actually not missing anything material that I don't have here. What does stay constant is missing my wife, my children, my home and everything that means, those basic needs and values can never change, no matter how things change.
