As I was standing near a lamppost waiting for my friend to come outside from her 3-story Brownstone, I became spellbound by the gorgeous scenery surrounding me. That resulted in me drifting into a trance, and after a few minutes, I started walking towards a bench to sit and capture my thoughts.
Even though I was curious about where my mind would go just minutes before sunrise, I fought off the urge to control my thoughts and let my imagination flow freely.
I was soon standing beside a different lamppost, admiring the turquoise lightbulbs shining bright and looking into the sky. Then, right on cue, I heard my friend shouting, Anthony, Anthony; however, I was unwilling to let this peaceful moment fade into the abyss, so I ignored her for a moment and allowed my thoughts to finish crystallizing.
When she finally made it over to me, steam was going out of her ears; and she said, “are you writing again?” I responded in the affirmative and then told her that she now had my undivided attention! She stood speechless for five seconds, and then we burst out laughing!
Live in the present and journal thoughts whenever you can, my friends. BTW, this experience, from taking the pic to the short walk, and writing this post, took a total of 9-minutes. 😊
Have a lovely evening.
