I'm lost in time. A week ago I started driving to Erie from Texas, on Thursday Karl and I took a greyhound to Toronto, on Friday a flight to Amsterdam, and on Saturday one to Johanesburg. Now today, Monday, we find ourselves on a bus headed towards Zimbabwe and another bus awaits us tomorrow to take us to Victoria Falls. The early onset of the darkness in the southern hemisphere this time of year doesnt help one orient themselves. Its 6:10 and black as night outside our bus. It has been a constant struggle between the reality of the day and my own circadian rhythm. I've slept one full night since thursday. My body doesn't know when it is and I really don't either. It certainly makes things interesting not knowing a very basic piece of information. I never realized how much of day to day life is based on when until I got lost in time.
