....or should I really be saying, "Wow, it's early."? I have no idea why I'm starting a new post at 1:08a.m. when I should be sleeping. To be honest 1a.m. isn't usually that early, but this week it seems like 5a.m. just because Jump Start is quite exhausting, and my eyelids are slowly closing at this very moment. I had this strange thought though and I wanted to write it out....
You see two days ago I was driving home in the dead of night. It was about 1:30a.m. and I had been watching the Olympics and drifting in and out of consciousness the majority of the night, so needless to say I was out of it. ---Some background information--There's a stage I tend to go to when I'm sleepy when random things/thoughts jump out and take control over my mind. This is also the stage I like to write my papers in because I tend to be tired enough to get my work done and mellow enough to not stress but rather write.---Anyways, back to what I was saying--As I was driving down Avon Rd. someone else appeared over the hill and quickly flicked their brights off; however, the damage had been done...I was blinded. Note, I could still see the road and was in no real danger of hurting anyone, well at least no more than usual, but everything was blurred.
This is where I'm going to make a leap...I began to compare this to life in general. How often is my vision blurred by bright lights such as work, homework, gossip, greed, selfishness, friends, family, emotions, etc.? Sometimes these things will creep up on us, just like a car appearing as it drives over a hill, flashing lights in our eyes. This is when we need sunglasses on I guess and, finishing this crazy metaphor, mine are prayer, my Bible, Jesus, and all things to keep my mind focused on my spirituality rather than anything else...I said I was going to be making a stretch haha
...that is all. :)
