Mindful Moment
I beat feet on the walk home down the snow covered street.
Still walking speed with my mind far from still with a need to prevent a reactionary ricochet from the thoughts shot from the trebuchet of my reptile brain.
A trip back in time reminded me of a time when stepping too hard on the floor could make the needle jump and record scratch and I’ll be damned if I let another one of these mothers catch me napping!
Startled by the traffic, I started the sound on my phone and stopped traffic with a Wynken, Blynken and Nod, I lept over the piled snow and came unmoored…
When I came down I was transported to…
The Moment when….
3am: Party still going strong, somehow everyone knows to pause and double clap this drumbeat
Violent Femmes— “Blister in the Sun”
And the party proceeds as if nothing happened
Did anything happen?
