Weather signs

My tendency is always to push through things.  This is not necessarily bad, except perhaps when the outcome may be a seizure.  Yesterday the sun seemed incredibly bright, even with my sunglasses.  When I got out of the meeting, the sky was completely gray.  Of course, in retrospect, this means a weather front came through, which also means a change in barometric pressure.  Today it is sunny again.  Today there is more to pay attention to, even if I don*t want to do so.  Today I took the morning off.  The afternoon brings two new clients to meet.  

The sun was so bright

Yesterday,

I squinted as I drove

All the way to Geneva;

Gave thanks for sunglasses,

Offered up a small blessing

For a shorter drive

Than it might have been.

When the meeting was over

I found the sky

bianketed

In gray.

I gave thanks for

What would be

A paler drive,

No need to squint.

On the way home

I realized

Again

The internal signals

Matter at least as much

As the external.                          

It seems I still need to learn

To balance attention

Inward

With attention outward.

Halfway home

I bought a bowl of baked potato soup,

Ate it slowly

Until the internal weather cleared.
