The Impression that I Get

You may have noticed the new song. I've been looking for something new for you to listen to, but nothing seemed quite right. Last week while I was running it was very hot. I was uncomfortable, and I was thinking about one of my friends who was going through a very tough time. I often work on things in my head when I am running. It gives me something besides the discomfort to think about. It is one mechanism I use to insulate myself and help me continue to run when it is not easy. I was trying to think of ways I could help. Nothing I came up with seemed like the right thing. Soon my thoughts moved on to what would you do if it would remedy the situation for your friend. Things like "would you hit your thumb with a hammer?", "would you let someone who doesn't like you hit your thumb with a hammer?", "would you run in this heat until you passed out?". I decided that I would, and also that none of these things would be helpful. I'm not sure, but I think I was just letting myself off the hook. Ultimately I tried to put myself in his shoes, and did what I would want someone to do for me. Just know I would hit my thumb with a hammer if it would help you out during a rough time.
