I have learned recently

 Of all the things I have learned recently,

This is the one that has impacted me most,
And I need to think about it some more.
There have been other vital things I've learned along the way,
I think.
I might have forgotten them along the way, because,

I have learned recently,
That not everyone has a constant stream of throughts,
Pushing and surging for control in their mind.

I have learned recently,
That other people really can switch off,
Not just turn down the volume of their own internal calamity.

I have learned recently,
That having to write down everything in order to function,
Is not what most people have to do.

I have learned recently,
That some people can focus on one task at a time,
From the planning, to execution, to evaluating without becoming,
Forever distracted by life.
