The sun sets on another day…
Sunset was gray again. I mean, it was gray where I saw it, but high above, well, it was magnificent. Yes, my imagination is that good!
I was thinking today for a little while about an old yo-yo I used to have. The yo-yo was actually a Duncan butterfly yo-yo and I loved doing tricks with it and it made me laugh all the time. It didn’t really matter what I was doing, it became automatic. I was lost in the mundane excitement that was going up and down and up and down. Every once in a while I would do a cat’s cradle too.
This all reminds me once again of the movie Parenthood. The grandmother makes a statement about the roller coaster and the merry go round. She relates that she prefers the unpredictability and chaos of the roller coaster even though some people like the predictability of the merry go round. I suppose that’s why I don’t know where my yoyo is right now. It was very predictable and in the end I enjoyed it, but I wanted something a little more unpredictable. Maybe just maybe, life isn’t about being predictable and instead is about embracing a little bit of fun now and then and making the world yours.
So as the sun sets on another day, I think I’m gonna enjoy my yo-yo if I can find it. Every once in a while a predictable few minutes is OK. I’ll have my fun, then put it away and live an unpredictable life every day. I hope your day is what you enjoy, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and that’s a lot of fun…
