Workaday world

I'm sitting at my usual perch, sipping coffee and watching harried commuters in tiny metal boxes hustle to the office. Being off-rhythm from everyone else is good. You get one day to watch the world go by. You can ponder reality, fantasy, last night's game. Carving out a notch of peace and tranquility ought to be a given, a natural, but it's not. Our lives intrude and intervene a little too much. Making the time to give yourself some slack is allowed. Really, it is. You'll have plenty of time to pull the line taut again soon enough.
