LUCKY
I’m feeling lucky, not because of the forecast, that doesn’t often mean much as the landlady sagely noted, but because I had the day off, the sun is out and there’s motion in the distant seas. I’m living in the moment as mindfulness zealots say, or just living, as I prefer to put it. Another van pulls up beside me at the traffic lights. On the passenger side a tired worker tries to rest his head against the window using his awkwardly angled arm for an uncomfortable looking pillow. His face says he doesn’t want to be there and his body agrees. I feel even luckier to have the day off. Work doesn’t often make you a better windsurfer but it does give a good perspective to make actually going windsurfing feel all the better.
