Presentmindedness

As I sat I heard a loud thudding somewhere South of the cabin I absentmindedly thought, “That's a strange way to drive a nail.” As my absentminded state became more present, I realized it was Palliated Woodpecker. I was aware of the transition from absentmindedness to presentmindedness, as I felt my awareness of the moment awaken and I started to look for Woodpecker. I am grateful to have more awareness of absentmindedness and its effects and will be on the lookout as it may try to creep back into my day.
