Sometimes

   Sometimes things really are too good to be true. Sometimes you plan out an entire day of leisure; just reading and drinking coffee. And it turns out neither to be enlightening or fun, just makes you feel lazy and empty. It serves, however as a neat little metaphor for life. It's not when our dreams are fulfilled that we experience true joy, or when our plans are executed, but when a good thing unexpected happens, and it doesn't matter how "big" the thing that happens it is, it just matters that for that moment your life is something other than you thought it was, and you can no longer accept the notion that life is drudging routine, because something out of routine just happened. But you cannot sit around and make these events happen, nor can you plan for them, or manipulate events to ensure their happening. The only thing to do is to hope, plan, drudge through your routine, notice when it is broken, and then tell God about it.
