A rainy day. A Dreary drizzly shades of grey, type of day. The world is quiet while it weeps, a silent symphony of thoughts and memories long since lost – echos of a different time. Inspiration can be found in the shadows, joy inspite of the sadness.
Walking outside, before i reach my car, I slip on the ice that is slowly melting in todays rain. Its surprisingly warm today, and makes me smile when I see all of the snow still left from winters blast a few weeks ago. Why is it so funny when someone falls? I can’t help myself from looking around quickly to see who might be watching. Then I start laughing. I must have looked like some funky break-dancer, being gripped by the spirit. If I had gotten dirty, I probably would have muttered a few choice words, but thankfully,I was able to avoid that. ;) I could have gotten quite mad, and I won’t say that hasn’t happened before, but, I guess I was able to see the humor this time, rather than the inconvenience.
Today I’m going to try ro stay in this nice even mood, trying to find the humor in things, instead of just getting annoyed. Its quite a daunting task, depending on how your day is going. Some days, it can seem like I’ve turned into a “shit magnet”, and everything that happens will be just a little bit twisted to the wrong way to be “a good thing”. Its like your balance of good bad, happy sad is askew, and for that entire day, you need to be careful, and keep more aware of your surrounding than you might on any other day.
So, is that like a sign, or a form of karma? Is someone telling you to “pay more attention!”, and the only way to get your attention is to nail you with a “shit storm”. Who wants that?! Not I, for sure! I think I’ll try to pay attention to the little things, and maybe this way, I won’t ”mosey on by” something that I would / could have easily missed.
Ignorance is Bliss? Nah… only if you seek the mundane. I think its more like “Oblivious To Bliss”. Open those eyes and ears. Reawake those senses that have been sleeping for far too long.
