My Commute
Posted by vonn on June 8, 2009 in Reflection |
I commute to work.
So what, right. Everyone does. That’s true. My commute happens to be 5 hours each way. And, I drive this distance to and from Bloomington. 
This gives me a lot of time to think about the world and all that is in it. Today on my way back to Bloomington, it struck me that this time for contemplation is really something most people don’t take for themselves. Time to reflect on the week past, the week ahead, and where they are for the moment. (Somewhere on 65 South!)
One certainly has to pay attention to what is going on with the road, but beyond that I have 5 hours to myself. I can’t “DO” — I can’t “CLEAN” — I can’t “WORK” — all I can do is be.
It’s funny how out of the hard things the blessing arise.
