tool kit

The Quest

A few years ago I went on an epic quest to disassemble the hard drive (from here on - HD) from an old computer in order to salvage its parts and see how it worked.

I positioned myself on the floor, in my apartment, with HD in hand, a knife and a pair of scissors. (I know what you’re thinking - a knife and scissors? That’s crazy!) Yes, not only crazy but foolish as well. But I knew the risks and these were all the tools I had.

I found myself headed to work on the train this morning; feeling a bit… not overwhelmed… but ‘awkward.’  Life’s pulling in so many directions. More issues continue to rise and I feel increasingly worn out - as if the enemy somehow discovered a secret entrance unaware to me and was siphoning my energy.  An internal battle was being waged - for my joy.
