I have a reflection time.
It's my walk home from Nes' house usually. On the way down the street (the middle of the street, no less), that's when my day slows down. I observe clearly, I breathe cleanly and instead of just taking a passing glance at things, I'm able to stop and look at them. Of course, that's what observe is supposed to mean. But you already know that.
Like tonight...I watched the stars as I sauntered home.
You see the stars all the time, but do you ever actually get a chance to look at them? I mean really take a nice long stare. It makes you remember how small we really are compared to everything else around us. And I think this is an important lessons to realize. Not that we are insignifcant, but that we are small. And because we are tiny compared to what's around us, it's important for us to do big things.
Why?
Because it makes things worthwhile. My *mother* told me not to run for Class President...I did it anyways. And I beat six other guys. You know why I did it? To do something big. Because, let's face it, our time on this earth it limited. You have to go out loud and boisterous, not quiet and reserved. And when you die, man, that's when people start to forget you. Everyday that passes puts more strain on the memory. So go out with a bang, in fact...tommorrow morning, start it off with a loud noise of some sort.
Possibly emitted from you. It wouldn't matter. Just don't be quiet. Sure, we're all small in comparison to the world and the universe. But it's our actions, our words, that truly make us bigger.
Joke De La Now
While preaching to the crowd one day, Jesus told the people "Lo, and come unto me, my children, and you shalt see the miracle hand of the Father. Ask of it, and it shall be given unto you."
A man approached the Lord and said this, "My Lord, my wife is but one day away from erasing our marriage. Could thou please summon divine intervention and allow my marriage to remain whole?"
The Lord then proceeded to look to his left, then to his right, then to his left again. Finally, He turned back to the man. "What do I look like," the Lord said, "a miracle worker?"
