Video Friday

I lack serenity.
Maybe it’s that I lack a certain focus that would lead to some sort of composure in my life, a calmness to enjoy the simple things that I already possess.
I let everyday tumults cloud the picture screen.
It’s so easy to look at breakdowns in the system – the loft won’t be ready in time, new tenant wants my place instead of one identical, landlord says she needs me out – and crumble. Retreat to the man-cave and wait it out.
But I don’t have the time.
I have responsibilities, plans of action.
Try to grin and bear it.
Through it remain calm, focused. Do the things I need to solve the problem, be happy.
Move within the system of karma, knowing what I do now affects not only the future, but the past.

Anyway, here's some Eels, your Video Friday:
