…And I Am You And What I See Is Me

As I was driving this morning, I noticed a car idling on the side of the street. I glanced in the window at the driver, and it looked like they were sobbing. We should all carry a connection to everybody around us. We need to have a constant baseline presence and empathy in our daily exchanges. Not one enabling dysfunction, just simple consideration of each of our individual circumstances. Everybody has their own dramas, strains and frustrations. As well as their joys, inspirations, and sources of happiness. The more I consider this, the more I want to stay connected to the moment. Not what has happened, not what might happen, but what is happening. And without judgment or consideration of how it came about or what the impact could be later.
