Alternator, in-effect,

Mindset clear, be ready to alternate action, priority, in the moment,

Then in the car, light blinking for a bit, then engine failing, drastic measure,

Alternator failing, all lights off and roll home in a hurry, carefully, alternately focused on every traffic light and quiet prayer,

“Get home safe,“

Get home safe we did, and so grateful,

Gratitude, no alternator there.
