1,464 brush strokes in Sketch Club on my iPad and roughly 29 minutes, I looked up, and suddenly they were gone. I’m at One Line Coffee in the Franklinton neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. Annyth’s getting her hair cut next door.

The title of this post can be attributed to the late Dr. Owen Dukelow, Professor of Philosophy at Washington and Jefferson College. As an undergrad in the mid to late 1970s I took a couple of his classes. I also worked in the college library all four years, and Professor Dukelow would show up now and then and place a stack of his newsletters/bulletins on the front desk for people to take away and read for free. The informal series was entitled, Pardon Me, My Mind Was Wandering. I remember finding his short essays amusing, but I wasn’t mature enough to recognize the themes of equanimity and impermanence. I do now, at least to some extent.

Here’s the image itself.
