The audio conference ends and gives way to the wiper on the windshield, the friction of the wheels on the wet road of Autumn.
From the acute, the sharp, the concentrated consciousness I move to the broad, the embracing, the diffuse consciousness.
Like the click of the off switch suddenly reminds the richness of the dark, consciousness reaches from here to far.
Here, the audio of the conference turns off and the consciousness, by a favourable coincidence, shifts beyond the usual position towards a consciousness broader than that of the usual driver.
It finds itself in a field of unexplored depth.
Like a door does not close in a neutral position but continues its circular path beyond, to suddenly become a swing door.
Notes & Silence 
I presume that you are likening the end of work and driving home to the process of switching off external noise and entering silent contemplation. Either way – I hope your attention is not too diffuse when driving in the rain!!!

Tiredness does this very well.
I often fall asleep on my drive home from work.

Not the best strategy for survival..

I agree.
I should stop working.

I’m working on stopping working myself.

Gently waiting for retirement age cannot be a strategy, strictly speaking.
If your plan is to accumulate enough resources to stop working…Please do not share it with me.
If anything else, — something not rational, preferably — I’d be interested.

The accumulation is hardly high on the list of priorities. Materially, I will be less well off as a result. But I have seen too many work on for a bigger pension they never survived to receive.
The plan is to write poetry, learn to play a Mandolin, gaze at the stars and listen to the wind.
The important stuff…

I hope you have a bit of time to share those important activities with me, one day.
