every once in a while, something happens that is so fantastic... --- ...that you find yourself at a loss for words. a moment that makes an entire life governed by confusion and coincidence, instantly become logical. within that moment, you realize why God placed you on this earth - and why He chose this infinitely small fragment of eternity for you to carry out your life... i was shocked by a bagel. yes, i was literally shocked by half of a blueberry bagel with a strawberry cream cheese spread. as i tried to step into my car, precariously balancing two open bagel halves on the palm of my hand, one fell and proceded to roll along the floor...much longer than you would expect a bagel to roll. (in truth, the entire event seemed to unfold in slow motion) on its edge, much like a wheel, it rolled in increasingly smaller circles before resting face up on the grease-stained floor of the car port. reaching down to pick up my now-inedible bagel, my mind was beginning to fill with an ominous cloud of negativity having lost my afternoon snack...the sole consolation of my commute to work. but just as quickly as these depressive thoughts entered, they were immediately neutralized by a divine spark of electricity traveling between myself (and my outreached finger tips) and the aforementioned blueberry bagel half. it is at moments like these, that with such incredible clarity, those blessed to bear witness to these events seem to display overwhelming gifts of oration in hopes of bringing the moment into some sort of comprehension to those around. and indeed, in light of the moment, i responded in much the same way. "whoa, that was weird," i said aloud, to no one in particular - as i was, in fact, alone at the time. 
the weather is incredibly dry right now. |
