On the road, in a traffic jam, got to get where ever you gotta go??

Cars on all sides of you?
Go into the NOW from there.

Start to look for the pattern made by the hoods of the cars all around you.
Listen to the sound each one makes as they pass you or you them. Some tick. Some swoosh. Some clang. Just listen.

Listen to the sounds beyond the stopped cars.
Listen to the breeze that flows thru the tree along the side of the road, while you are at the stop light.
If it's snowing, listen as the flakes hit your cars parts.
If it's raining, listen to the sound of each rain drop on the metal.

Folks trying to get in front of you, without using their turn signals?
Go into the NOW from there.

Watch the space between your car and the one in front of you, look at its shape, and watch that shape change as the new car moves into it.

Folks weaving in and out of lanes?
Go into the NOW from there.

Imagine what kind of line the car would make, if there was paint of a bright color, coming out of the exhaust pipe. Does the exhaust turn into a spray gun or watercolor flow? What does it create for you today?

You gotta get where you are going?
Go into the NOW from there.

Stay where you are. You are in a miracle object, a metal object designed by truly creative souls and it is carrying you to your destination. With a couple of small movements, and a sense that you trusted yourself, you are moving across man made streets, passing trees hundreds of years old. Both human creativity, and nature to keep you company along your way. Be aware of the movement your car is making. The sounds it makes.
Stay in the car, stay present, feel the connection to all that is around you.

You are in YOUR NOW.
And your days journey will be as it is supposed to be.
