Ten Seconds
June 7, 2010
Close your eyes and count to ten.
For once in your life just listen.
Listen to what’s around you.
The car honking its horn at a stupid driver.
The neighbors playing in their pool next door.
The sound of my pen scratching on paper.
The sound of a page turning.
You know what that is?
It’s life.
And you just wasted ten seconds of it.
