As I was driving George Hilton
Beagle to McHugh’s to pick up a cheeseburger Thursday afternoon, the brakes
seemed sluggish, and they gave out entirely just as I got home, with the car
rolling to a stop and the brake light coming on.
Looked like brake fluid on the
fresh snow to me. I called Neal Tire and had it towed.
I must say handled the car events
with mindful equanimity. I always wonder if I’ll be able to do that whenever
the next crisis comes, and lately I seem to have been getting better and better
at it.
I count myself lucky we weren’t on
the road when the brakes failed completely.
I’m never quite sure if I can
really practice what I preach, so I'm tentatively proud when I’m able to do so.
With mindfulness, many of these crises CAN be managed, mentally and
emotionally, without overreaction or much reaction at all, really.
