A Big Long Nap

 

I have no excuse really.  It was an odd day.  Meant to go for a nice long drive but didn’t.  Didn’t do anything really.  Took a big, long nap.

Then I got to thinking about the word “siesta”.  Growing up, I got a lot of foolish ideas from cartoons and such about what a siesta might be. It was something lazy people in hot climates did because they were so lazy, right?

siesta (n.)

"interval of sleep or repose taken at mid-day," 1650s, from Spanish siesta "mid-day rest or nap," from Latin sexta (hora) "sixth (hour)," the mid-day hour (coming six hours after sunrise), from sexta, fem. of sextus "sixth" (see Sextus). A common practice in hot countries.

Well, sometimes, it’s the best thing to do.  On hot days it’s easier to sit up all night and do stuff.

For extra credit I had an odd idea to explore.

Could consciousness be evidence for the eternal nature of the human soul?  Just wondering while I was snoozing.
