sit in your car.

Sometimes I like to sit in my car. Maybe in a parking lot, or my driveway, or at work. Wherever. But I simply sit silence as people pass me with carts or babies or dogs or lovers or lawn mowers or cellphones to go about their day. And I exhale into deep thought.

You really should try it. Because it’s the best sanctuary to lock the doors and reflect on all the events that have or will happen in your life. Where you can make big and small decisions in quiet. That is where you can reflect on what’s real and important, the different moments of heartbreak and joy. That is when you can say to yourself, “I’ve been through worse” or “I’ve never experienced anything as perfect as this.”
