L.O.L.

"Life Outa Luck"... Isn't it strange to think there could be those out there who've reached the end? Not a physical one... but... they've just been pushed down for the last time. Out of luck, last chance gone, hold your breath and close your eyes... thanks for coming. Reading through the Hitchiker's guide to the Galaxy, interestingly enough, has altered my view on life. Yes... Improbability Fields and Bistromathics are of course superb, but just think... what if... I'm *not* actually the most important thing in the universe? I mean honestly... to think of space as something so mind bogglingly big (and so on) that if you were to fully comprehend the enormity of it, the insignificance you would experience would be enough to crush all spirit and will within you. Then... holding that vision in one hand... zoom into a small speck of nothing in the other... magnify, and again... and a million times a million times again. And the universe you're now looking at in your other hand belongs to the person standing next to you. But... there's something odd here. No, the drapery doesn't clash... rather, they're not the centre of it; you are. And to weigh these two perspectives, one in each hand, really makes the mind flurr and glurry. ...an infintesimal nothing, (in the greater scheme of a mind bogglingly big (and so on) universe), and yet having the ability to be everything to someone else. An unexpected bit of luck. Another chance. A fresh breath and new sight. A new opportunity. What a fantastic opportunity for *us!* *smiles at the irony* What a marvelously made universe we live in!

'Lo, there do I see my father...

'Lo, there do I see my Mother and my sisters and my brothers... 'Lo, there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning. 'Lo, do they call to me. They bid me take my place among them in the halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever!

To die, to sleep.... To sleep perchance to dream, ah! There's the rub. *grins* Yeah... sorry. I'm not *actually* trying to be morbid! It's just that I think these next two weeks are going to nearly do me in. I'm working tomorrow (sunday) for a full shift, and overtime every night (except this tuesday and next thursday, which are the Feasts of Trumpets and day of Atonement respectively *wonders if he sounds like he's in some weird cult now* *grins*) So... if I'm absent for a bit, then... it's because I'm either working a ten hour shift, at one of the meetings for the holy days, sleeping, or... well... there's always the two week stretch *after* these next two weeks where I get to recover! ...ooh... didn't I mention? *grins* Yes... What's the name of the place I'm going to? ah! I'm sure it'll come to me sooner or later! *hugs you all* ...hopefully I'll see three of you soon. God bless... I love you guys. Keep praying, if you would... *feels like Atlas* ...the world can be so heavy at times... *goes off to take another run at it*
