This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by. |
| Remember the Hulk from TV? His alter ego played by Bill Bixby talked shared a story one day with a woman. It was about a man who encountered a bear. He ran from the angry bear until he came to a cliff. It was either jump or be mauled. Then man slipped over the cliff and hung onto a small tree growing out of the side of the cliff. There was no foothold, no rocks to grab onto, only some sparse vegetation. Above was the bear. If he managed by his fingertips he might be able to climb back up, maybe get his foot onto the tree to which he now held. Below was a steep drop which would surely kill him if lost his grip. There was disaster and death above him, disaster and death below him. No matter what choice he made, he'd lose. Then he noticed a wild strawberry. Without thinking, he reached over and picked it. He put it into his mouth and bit into it. Oh, what a juicy tasty strawberry. So sweet, so delightful. Life is like that sometimes. We have no easy choices. No matter what we do, we're gonna lose. But isn't it grand that while we wait for the end, we have strawberries? We can choose to make the most of what we have, to take joy in the beauty available to us and savor it. Or we can waste in panic and despair. I choose to savor the strawberries. |
