It's not lost on my how incredibly privileged I am. I took the D Line bus to work and had a seat the whole way, brought a home made lunch (frozen vegetarian chili that we had prepped for days like today), enjoyed a pretty productive day with my co workers, made plans to go out in the evening. These plans changed and I ended up heading over to the University District on a Pronto Bike Share Bike so that I could have ramen noodles (from a Japanese restaurant and not a box), catch up with a friend, see a pretty good films about the removing the dams from the Elwha River and then run (literally) to catch a #43 bus home. I was in my neighborhood within 10 minutes and home in 5 more. Safely.
And I could expand on this in so many ways and on so many levels but I'm not going to do that here tonight. But it's not lost on me. I am fortunate. I am privileged. And I have privilege.
