Take-home Trail Lessons

Overheard on today's walking trail:

One woman emoting to another,"This is a precious time. Stop wasting my time by..."

Her voice trailed out of earshot, leaving my walking partner and I to consider the stage, fill in blanks:

Was it one friend telling a story: "And so I said..."

Perhaps advice: "Here's what you should say..."

Or was it an in-the-moment reprimand: "Stop wasting this time together."

Either way, it was food for our thoughts. Personalizing who, what and why.

Then reminding each other where to start:

The mirror.
