Stop Drop Roll

Addison, TX 2010

One of the first safety lessons I recall learning as a child was “Stop Drop and Roll” – 
or, how to respond if you are caught on fire.

Last month, on a trip to Toronto where I had no wi-fi connection in the house I was staying in, or available data plan on my iPhone, I found myself struggling with free time. 
I wanted to meditate.
I wanted to do yoga. 
I went for a run every other morning. 
I read a lot of dharma.
I edited a lot of writing – it’s not like I was “doing nothing.”
