So What's the Story Today?
So what’s the story today? On which side of the bed did you wake? Did you sleep well? Have any dreams? Will it be coffee or tea? Are you already thinking about your day? Will it be a gauntlet or a cakewalk? (Now you’ve opened the door and stepped out.) Did you wear the right shoes? Do you need a heavier jacket? Is the sun shining, casting light and shadows everywhere? Or is there a full belly of clouds, muting all the colors? What is it you hear above this voice in your head? Is that noxious smell car exhaust? Have you eaten already, or will you get something along the way? (Now you’ve slipped into the existential.) Where is it you are going again? Why? Who will be there? What are you bringing?
