I woke up late this
morning because, well, I didn't sleep much last
night. I was thinking about one year ago and the
phone call and the chaos and the madness and the
breathing. So I didn't wake up until about 10,
which is already an hour late for my freelance job.
And I took the train into Manhattan and then rushed
out and grabbed a cab to go downtown.
I must have seemed really stressed, because the cab
driver, this guy named Ajit, tells me
to ease off.
"Slow down!" he says. "Too much pace not good for
heart!"
That's when I just broke down and started crying.
He pulled the cab over to the side and offered some
advice: "Take the day off," he said. "Call in well.
That's what I do when all is too much for
brain!"
He was right. I went to pay him but he wouldn't
take the money! "Have a day of enjoy!" he said.
