SLIGHTLY AGITATED, temperature up a bit, archetypal ‘man flu’. Wondering how to get through the day’s work. And then, “Aha!”. Stop work, that’s the answer. Stop, stop, stop. Sit down, shut up, and listen. So I did. Heard my own heartbeat and breaths inhaled and exhaled for twenty minutes. Temperature receded. Heart rate quietened. Energy returned. Work got done. Smiley face. Certain knowledge that I’ll need to relearn the same lesson tomorrow. “Aha!”.
