Sometimes we stare into the distance,
While waiting for your food to heat up in the microwave,
Whilst the that device boots up.
Standing at a traffic light, waiting for that reply on your messenger.
Our minds drift and sometimes we use this time to mentally prep a checklist in our heads,
Sometimes we just start singing or whistling.
For me my mind, travels back to that super cringe flashback of doing that stupid thing that one time.
Our minds do crazy things, that makes me wonder even more..
Like when that cringe moment happened, and what happened after that, to end up thinking about a scene in a movie, to then wondering about how Gangnam style was a thing, and then...
...The Microwave goes beep, the device is booted, you get that reply on your phone.. the green walking man is visible...
and we move on with our lives.
Its awesome that our neural paths just flow freely that we often don't think, as thinking is work. Instead we wonder.. and drift..and somehow relax that mental muscle.
Even though we may not fully present in a moment we are always there, sometimes the voice in my head talks way too much, and all I need is that 'beep' from the microwave to bring me back...
Where do you drift off to?
Until next time...
