In a long night ride

 I was travelling in a sleeper bus for the first time in my life. I am a bit claustrophobic, the space was already making me sick. And the AC was too cold. Trying to fight the nausea, was dwindling in and out of sleep, often peeping out of the curtain to see the moon and then my husband, sleeping like he was in a cradle. Was so jealous of him.

rum drums honk..zooom…i could hear the sounds draining into my sleep….

BANG!!!!

what happened? am i going to die? the brakes screeeeeched into my heart as I lept out of all the sleep and the bus halted with a jolt. was this it?

suddenly i feel a strong arm around me holding me tight, and i hear the words “Its nothing. Its going to be okay. Its going to be okay. Just relax.”

And all that was happening just came to a stand-still like Buddha’s peace blanket.

In that moment, all I could feel was blessed to have him next to me, and I pray I have him holding me for eternity…
