The glass is half full
Consider this a “guest blog” post for RTTC as it’s author is taking a deserved sabbatical. And for those who do not follow RTTC, just give me some slack …
On the drive home today, the sun was low and right in my eyes. Back in Boston, the traffic reports would call this a “solar slowdown”. That’s the “glass is half empty” in my book - it’s also my typical response. Today was different. I can’t say exactly why.
The sun was low on the trees and the golden rays break thru the branches and caught you with astonishing power. You slow just a bit to be safe. there is an old gentleman, on a riding mower, making passes back and forth on his lawn. You wave, even though you have never met. He waves back. Further on, a young woman is jogging. Again, you wave - not franticly, but with a kind of “hope all is well” attitude. You check your rear view mirror to see a brief break in her stride as she waves back.
The stress of work and “things gone wrong” are less important than the present moment.
In these rare times, when the universe seems to be in harmony (even if only for an instant), capture the image, the feeling, the random thoughts that pass thru your mind as like those soles waving hello.
