It was a long-drive day for me. Some days I go to my head office that’s a little farther away in distance and a lot further when gauged on vehicular movement.
These drives are quite something! It is pretty much my alone time – to think, to talk to myself, to sing, to listen to music, to hear audible and podcasts, to call my folks and talk longer – I mean, I cannot help wondering what all I get done in the time that, I otherwise complaining about. Maybe, a part of me doesn't want to swap this commute time or would yearn for it when it is taken away!
The other
day I got thinking more about the time I spend behind the wheel. Just when I am
about to hit the highest note while singing along to a beautiful song, right at that moment when I feel everything is so beautiful and my heart feels heavy
with gratitude – either a pedestrian runs out of nowhere or another vehicle
will do some unpredictable movement on the road. From that brief moment of
calm, I switch to everything that’s barely calm.
But I have to gather myself
and keep things together because hey, I’m on the road.
Just like
life, isn’t it? The journey often feels so beautiful in spite of the traffic,
the honking, the irresponsible drivers, and the pedestrians. There are spurts of outbursts but we somehow
come around because you are on the steering wheel. People on the side or rear seat
and roads could tell you many things, but ultimately it is on you.
