On Esther's traveler's thoughts

The body weakens with a strange fatigue. Physical symptoms are bystanders. The mental collaspe is more defining. Yet, it is the harder of the two to see and appreciate.
Reading esther's blog today while watching Germany produce a magnificent three goals against Eucador. Yes, I was enjoying. But I was thinking more about her question: do they collide?

Do the mindset of the situation overtake us and leaves us for a moment in infinity a stranger to everything else. Even to ourselves. Only to wake up to another morning , to find it a dream. Lost for that time, in a different world. Do they collide?
Evening begins in a different spectrum as the afternoon. Doe s that render us innately and internally different.
How then could we keep to the same mindset?
She was speaking of the traveler? The traveler's mindset. There can be two scenarios, I imagine-
Traveler 1 mindset and Traveler 2 mindset (both belonging to the same individual)
The ultimate difference here is the circumstances and destination. We cannot underestimate the differences here.
Traveler 1 mindset and the mindset of the "sleepy one in class". Yes, the routine. Barely breathing. It is almost a sequestial thing to reply: yes they collide.
But if the mindset breeds in us then we have no worries to mind. For ultimately we adorn that of the mindset we develop inside us. We have to step out and fight against the tide.
Personally, I want the Traveler's Mindset. I want to breathe the sunshine and air. Not walk like a corspe. It is better to be sleepy walking into transit than sleepy walking to school. Without which, we become another material, superficial being. Lost in sleep.
Her ending... hmmm... not too clear.. maybe I will ask her another time...
