In The Last Two Weeks

 

Day 28



In the last two weeks, have you:


1.    Stared at the bath mat for more than six minutes straight (and been aware the whole time you were doing it)?


2.    Felt genuine gratitude and affection toward a garden bird for choosing your bird table, and for turning up just when you most needed a buddy?


3.    Asked how somebody was and secretly wished they would crumple inconsolably (so that you could, just once, not feel like you're the last lonely runner in a marathon, clawing your way toward a long-deserted finish line)?


4.    Felt yourself contracting into foetal position (as if the whole mass of the universe were expanding exponentially and somehow squeezing you out like toothpaste)?


5.    Imagined yourself in possession of a super power (and been pretty certain it'd be the kind that threatens to obliterate the entire galaxy in an apocalyptic judgement of fury and hellfire)?


6.    Dropped food on the floor and felt like it was the last straw and you're a good person so why can't you just catch a break?
