As I walked into the office this morning, I heard a seagull. I stood in the sunshine, the cold air blowing about me and for a moment, I was not in Kensington, but standing on the boardwalk in Ocean City NJ. I used to slip out of the condo as the sun rose and walk the boardwalk alone, away from the bevy of Brinkers that hemmed me in, listening to the gulls and watching the waves. How I love the seashore! I love the constant wind, I love the smell of the sea, I love watching the waves and all the sounds of the resort. Not so fond of getting into the water -- scared of jellyfish. Not so fond of feeding the gulls anymore after I got pooped on. But for a moment, the memory of sun and beach were very strong....
Damn this is just not the life I wanted to lead! I am not quite sure how all my choices have led to here, but I am pretty sure that given the same circumstances, my choices would be the same -- just like Peggy Sue. Working on upgrading my outlook on life -- the mantra is: Things happen for a reason. That has gotten me through an awful lot of difficulties. I may not understand the reason. I may not actually agree with the outcome, but there is a rhyme and reason not just an arbitrary happening.
"You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should."
I don't care if the history is clouded, or if it is considered pop culture and not really deep or meaningful. I LIKE that poem!
