In this episode, I read “Prayer Hands on the Exit Ramp,” an autofiction piece from Emergent: An Anthology of New Voices. It’s a story about a dangerous moment on the highway—and a quieter realization about who I’ve become in moments of stress.This piece reflects on anger, restraint, and how long-practiced habits like therapy, yoga, and meditation can interrupt old reflexes before they escalate. Not with perfection—but with presence.Emergent is published by the Garden of Neuro Institute and features work under consideration for the Pushcart Prize. Buying the book supports the nonprofit and helps emerging writers thrive.Amazon: https://a.co/d/6F2WKJZ
