Trying to remember the questions (A day of epiphanies)
What a day! I’m a wee bit exhausted.
In addition to spending four hours with a seven-year-old and a ten-year old I took two long walks today. The walks were what blew me away.
The first walk was through neighborhoods that I walk through all the time. There was nothing new to see. Same old, same old. But as I looked at things that I’ve been looking at for some years now, answers started popping up. I would look at a tree I’ve looked at hundreds of times and an answer would immediately pop into my mind. I’d look at a building and the same thing would happen. I’d look at a trash dumpster and the same thing would happen. I would look down at the cracked asphalt street and answers would appear to me.
Has that ever happened to you?
As I was profusely bombarded with answers I very slowly started remembering the questions. Some of the questions I asked five, six, or seven years ago. Some of them I asked two years ago. Some of them I asked last week. I was so deluged with answers that it became quite the mental chore to remember all the questions.
Don’t you love it when that happens?
Then during my four-hour play-date with my granddaughters something happened that almost never…
