Taking Leave of Yourself

I'm taking a break from being myself.
Its a secret break ... snatches of time stolen from normal routines where I drift off.

Or maybe the 'me' at these times is actually the closer to the real me.

Things I've Learnt About Myself

1) That I will walk a bit slower on the street if I am walking next to an old person who is limping along. That is so that he or she won't feel bad about himself.

2) That I can enjoy the Olympics Opening Ceremony if it is a classy, well done affair.

3) That I will feel an extreme sense of desolation if I turn back to wave at the person I just left and his thoughts are already on something else.
