                                 Chapter 10

   God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise;
   and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the
   things which are mighty. (First Corinthians, 1:27)

   The windows are dark when I awaken, and the clock on my bed stand says
   03:02 in glowing red letters. To my great surprise, I realize that I
   must have slept through the entire day since early afternoon. I do not
   even remember the quiet interruptions of the nurses, measuring my
   blood pressure, and noting the other useless numbers they are required
   to collect every few hours. This both disturbs and pleases me;
   disturbs me that I should have been so unaware of my surroundings, but
   pleases me because I have not slept so soundly since first awakening
   last week from the coma. With guilty pleasure, I realize that I feel
   more refreshed than I have in many days, and far more calmâthough it
   may well be the calm before the proverbial storm, I am content to
   enjoy it for now.

   I am rested, and I am leaving. Indecision, at least, no longer plagues
   me.
