October of Zarathustra

Getting lost in your work is the best.

It hardly ever happens to me any longer. Time seldom slips away any more. I miss that feeling of being out of time — in a lingering present. I think I did it more often when I was young.

I can't lock in as well as some people can, to the exclusion of everything else around me. I have known people who have that power, who don't even hear people talking to them when they really get going. If anyone knows a way to cultivate that, let me know.
