Musings

New clothes are best after a good wash… You ever buy new clothes right after you have done all of your laundry? You have to run around the house and find every dirty towel or rag even the shirt off your back to justify doing a load. But you can’t wear a shirt before a wash or jeans for that matter.

You ever step outside on a clear night and look up? I’m not talking about a cloudless night in the southern deserts of Arizona or on the peak of a lonely hillside. I am talking about the back yard of a normal house. I mean life as usual and all the sudden you look up and see the stars. You see stars all the time but for whatever reason on this night you remember a Tuesday in science class years ago when it hit you for the first time what a “light year” was and how far away the stars really were. And on this particular night, lets say there is a light breeze, you look up and think, “Gosh, those things are far away, Oh my gosh the universe is huge, Oh my gosh my life is insignificant.”

Sometimes I want to be an author… a writer… but I don’t think it is for the right reasons. I think good writers serve people by relaying information, or telling stories. When I think of being a writer I just want to think about things like laundry and stars and write those thoughts down. People would be so amused at my musings they would pay me to muse. Then I could spend my days amusing myself with my musings.
