Return to Mindfulness

I have been back from New York and New Jersey since Monday night, and have recuperated well from the 13.5 hour return train journey. Yes, 13.5 hours! The train was stuck at the Canadian border at Rousse's Point for more than three hours, I'd say.

Thankfully, having not had any solitude in the past five months, and having my new-model Kindle fully stocked with tons of trashy reading, I took advantage of the cozy seats, listened to some Sara Brightman, and read a good mystery novel, all in relative solitude. Oh, sure, there were hundreds of people on the train, and the car was packed, but still, I'd rediscovered some mindfulness techniques, and was, in essence, alone.
