| Two Women in the Room |
As I stood in a single file line, waiting to see my doctor, feeling like I'm in line in a foreign country waiting to receive a piece of bread, I took a quick glance around the room. A 60 something woman dressed in a pink jumpsuit reading a large print magazine on the south side of the room and two 30 something, large figured women sitting close, round elbows touching, clucking like two hens on a chicken farm, sitting on the north side. Hm, interesting women.
After I checked in, I walked around the room looking for something to read. It must have been my lucky day, I found the recent Wired magazine, untouched and unblemished, lying on the edge of the wooden table. I nearly ran to pick it up and stood next to the large figured women as I quickly scanned the table of contents. Yeah, found something interesting and I smiled and slowly walked in the next row of chairs to sit down. As I was reading and article, I suddently burst into laughter. Laughter so loud I nearly feel out of my chair in astonishment as to what I read! As I laughed aloud, the two women turned around, smiled at me, and then laughed with me (or at me). I'm sure they thought I must have been crazy since I was laughing by myself. I suppose someone not knowing me would think I'm crazy but that's just me...being me. |

| Mental Clarity |
Feeling the warm sun kiss my face, listening to the subtle and soothing sounds of the ocean water cleansing the sand, I find clarity. Clarity over thoughts I've struggled with over the course of a day, issues I pondered and fretted over were finally understood as I quietly sat on the sandy beach listening to my own breath.
I think in this day and age where we're forced to rush through our lives working longer hours, spending less time at home and more at work for less an hour, do we have the "time" to take a moment for mental clarity? Just as we apply security patches to our computers and dust the dirt from our picture frames, we, as individuals, as sentient beings, must remove the cloud of dust that plague our minds and clear it of obstacles before we can resolve or identify solutions. Why do we take coffee breaks? To provide a short break from the mundane and engage, maybe, in idle conversation with other sentient beings. The issue: mundane tasks, the solution: short break, end result: clear mind. Doesn't matter if it's a coffee break, a walk around the block, or a quite meditation, the end result is the same, a clear mind. Make the time for yourself and achieve mental clarity.
The last thing I do before I close my eyes each night is reflect on my day...review my accomplishments and struggles, and appreciate that I had another day to see the world, hear the living sounds, feel the warmth of the sun and cool breeze of the wind, enjoy my daughter's smile, and cherish the ability to breathe on my own.
I have achieved my own mental clarity and looking forward to another day. |
