- acting cold
- playing cool
- holding my breath
- holding my tongue
- avoiding your face
- seeking Your face
- being completely honest
- being thoroughly judicious
- waking early to stir the silence
- sleeping early to still the seething
- refraining from long showers lest the mind start thinking
- abstaining from mellow music lest the mind start reminiscing
- convincing the brain to overcome the heart
- convincing the heart to override the brain
- surrendering good things hoped for
- fighting for everything impossible
- enduring hours of loneliness
- savoring minutes of solitude
- looking up not around
- looking in not down
This time discipline means all of the above.
