One of those thought experiments that fascinates me is the movie one. IF your life were a movie being watched by an audience, what would they be screaming at you? 

Chances are, for most of you, something immediately came to mind. And whatever that is? That should be your focus of change. 

The lights were gorgeous this morning.

PS…

I could hear shouts as I cut through the pylons that blocked the side street that once connected traffic coming off of Leverett. 

As I approached, I could see two people standing on their tiny outcropping balcony in the dark. 

The young guy was angry and said some things that shouldn’t be said. He stormed back inside and shut the door to the balcony. 

As I passed, the young woman looked down and saw me. “I’m sorry about that,” she said.

“It’s been a rough night?” It popped out of my mouth before I thought about it. It’s a common predicament for me. 

“Yes.”

“It’s obvious I’m old. If you don’t want to be standing on this balcony again in a year, you’re going to have to leave him.”

“I know.”

“I hope you get some sleep and have a better Saturday.”

When I reached Garland, I turned to see that she had gone back inside.
