I think this aptly describes traffic in Houston. I took this unremarkable photo as I was zooming along at 5 mph just before a wonderful rain storm. All I could do was smile because the feeling of urgency was palpable, but we were not moving. It IS nice to be cruising along, but it also felt nice knowing I could not go anywhere even if I wanted. I was mostly stopped and it was great. Seriously. Sounds cheesy, ridiculous, or whatever, but here was life giving me the time to just sit, no obligations, except for watching out for the car in front of me. I didn’t HAVE to do ANYTHING else. I could have made ‘to do’ lists, called everyone in my contacts to bitch about Houston traffic, tried to solve all my thoughts, made up stories, stressed myself out, or I could realize I was where I was supposed to be, because I could not be anywhere else.
