thought of the day: "in an emergency..."
So I was on the Underground,
mind drifting, time idling.
it was my commute home.
the thing that is as much a part of my psyche now as is my name or my hair color
A part of me, my mind's landscape
Everyday
my commute.
it's funny, it's like upon leaving work everyday, it's the same:
I mentally prepare for it. I get hyped up, toned down, I zone out
All at once
My commute.
there are endless ways to spend a commute.
Among them are reading, writing, eating, listening to music, zoning out, sleeping, studying people, obsessing over my performance at work or personal life issues, my last relationship (let's go over ONE MORE TIME why didn't it work again?...), the meaning of life,
OR
reading the adverts
and also small writing on the train itself
things like
MIND THE DOORS
MIND THE DOORS
MIND THE DOORS
Ok, I've read that three times
moving on.
But this one day
last week
I noticed and really thought about
thought hard about
(cause I have plenty of time to do this on my commute)
the following words:
"In an emergency...blah blah blah...
Do NOT take ANY risks"
And I thought about it
And I know maybe it's silly,
but I thought to myself
Well, the thought came into my head:
"BUT
What if it's taking a RISK that SAVES YOUR LIFE?!"

I use to think about somebody who drops in the gap... (Mind the gap between the train and the platform)
In french, in a plane, is "ne prenez aucun risque inutile"
don't take risk for nothing...
