This is a departure from anything I’ve ever written, but sometimes it’s nice to write differently.
Yesterday after therapies, I was waiting for my Lyft to arrive in this open air area at the hospital. It was absolutely lovely. Normally, I sit on this little perch, or at the bistro where the employees eat but I wanted some quiet. It was the oddest thing, but I was mesmerized by the view. Odd because I could give two hoots about water and it takes a lot to mesmerize me. 😅 But, in that moment, I was relaxed. As I watched this sail boat on the river, I thought of all the years others had sat out there too. I wondered who was steering it, and if my childhood neurosurgeon still had a sailboat. I wondered about my future and the future of my country. But, as is the norm now, my back began to ache, and I got up to distract myself and wait for my ride home.
