'Been an up and down week - down: transmission died / up: rented a Prius.
The three day repair puffed out to six, so in that time I had a good opportunity to get familiar withe the electric/gas hybrid. The amazing thing about the technology is how completely silent and still the car is waiting at lights when the engine disengages - unlike traditional cars, which even stopped always have an agenda of 'go', eternal automotive manifest destiny, if you
will the
Prius just hangs there, state of quiet and complete stillness, an unexpected moment of simply
being there rather than going there.
So how does this relate to PD.....well, it doesn't, not in any meaningful way - other than a reminder to live consciously in the moment you're in -- good things open up unexpectedly, Prius Satori.
And now, everybody into the full lotus position, deep healing breath in, now.....
