On August 16, 2019, at 9 in the morning, on the way to a meeting.
In a Grabcar, looking out the window, playing Penny Lane by the Beatles.
A friend asks, “What is it to be genuinely happy?”
A big question for a 9 AM ride to work, the answer to which changes depending on the circumstance.
Last weekend, it was being surrounded by people I love.
Yesterday, it was loving what I do.
But on most instances, like this morning, it’s simply the readiness to accept reality as it is.
