Among many other things this city has taught me patience. My highly volatile and impatient mind is slowly but surely learning to slow down. I can now park my thoughts and then resume. What can you do afterall when the signal resumes? You have to park your thoughts as you start your car back again. Like how right now I am writing this piece between traffic jams ;).
Everyday commuting over considerable distances somehow makes you take cognizance of the higher meaning of living and the journey of life itself. For you see it yourself everyday that it takes a lot of more than just time to reach your destination! In my opinion this is symbolic of our life journey. There is an art of living and then there is an art of living in a big city. And to quote Thomas Merton, this is exactly the kind of art that enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time :)
