Smoothies on Nguyen Thi Minh Khai street

My bro Grant and I recently decided to get some smoothies at a place where we used to chill at about 5 years ago. As I sat outside this smoothie place with Grant, I looked straight ahead into the street. Hundreds of motorbikes flying by in different directions. Occasionally someone would make eye contact, and then be gone. I would try to be aware of every driver that drove by me, but of course this was impossible. Suddenly a thought appeared: 'Is this how fast time is going by?' 

I sat there kind of frozen, now staring at the buildings in front of me instead of the drivers. It was like the buildings were the present, and the drivers were the distractions. It made me think about this life experience being temporary. It made me think of how to live the remainder of my limited time on this planet. A bit of fear and anxiety appeared, it's coming back now as I write this. And also now that I think about it, I don't want to spend the remainder of my time alive being frozen with fear. I want to create. I want to contribute towards healing, until my time is up. Even though yes, eventually our Sun WILL collapse and the Earth as we know it will cease to exist. I still choose to contribute towards healing on this planet.
