When I arrive early at the office on Tuesdays, the morning sun floods the eastern windows, and I hang my coat and empty my books onto my desk and wait a moment before switching on the overhead lights. I like to think it is my job, or maybe it is just this time of life, but at that particular moment I feel a childlike eagerness, and the trials of the day seem fresh and worthy–not too big or small.
