I am nothing in a vast land of solitude...

Hello!

Good day people, crappy day for us here in the hood…rainy, cold, dark, pupu caca weather, but I like it…

My kids and I realized today, after having a hearty pumpkin soup with a grilled cheese sandwich, that our sugar levels were low; extremely low… it needed some action on the part of an adult… a wheelchair moving guy that would go out and “hunt” this sugar animal that would be feasted upon tonight… with coffee…  I was such a man! So off I went to the supermarket on the prowl for sweet junk… and I found it! There were apple strudels, May West, flaky vanilla pastry; I got them all! .. I was happy…

Coming out of the store I did something different that I don’t think I have ever done before; instead of looking frontward, as not to hit anyone or be run into by a car, I looked up at the sky and was mesmerized by it. I felt puny, small, insignificant, a speck of dust.. Here I was realizing that my problems and I are nothing compare to this place we live in; that however rich, beautiful, powerful or whatever, I was going to die one day just like every single thing in this Universe… I was dumbfounded by the revelation and the beauty of it all… so I navigated back home looking at the sky, my body knowing full well the manoeuvers that had to be made to get me safely home where I was greeted with cynicism and disgust over my realization of the smallness of my being and the lack of taste on the selection of pastry… Stupid kids, let them go out in the rain next time their sugar level is low…..

Take care folks…

PS sorry to the dude whose car I almost ran into due to my looking up at the sky… I was mesmerized dude…
