Automatic

Living in automatic mode for ages. Work, relationships, activities. Seldom slowing down to look back or replaying what's been going on, seldom contemplating. Disastrously tired yet certainly not able or willing to slow down.

Not looking for a change; not even realising there might be a need for one; not ready, not exploring.

And then, while sitting in a café in a leafy suburban street, the world pauses for a moment and everything comes to me crystal clear.

It was about time I started drinking coffee.
