In a Blur

Some days are just a blur.
I'm going about my business,
But I'm not quite with it.
Do you know what I mean?
I am on automatic pilot.
I can be driving along,
Not really paying attention.
Scary in retrospect.
Or there are other times
When the mind chatter is non-stop.
How much of my life goes by
Without me being totally tuned in?
I have noticed since taking up photography
That I am more observant.
It's an activity that requires my full attention.
Maybe that's why it calls to me so much.
