Sometimes
Sometimes the universe plays ball. Sometimes the forces that swirl uncontrolled and chaotic around us, align for a perfect moment. Moments of peace, calm, and, dare I say, even joy. Last night at the close of work such an alignment took place.
…perhaps it’s a lull before the storm…
For one thing, the phone stopped ringing. I am on call this week at Gigantic Concrete and when you’re on call the phone rings constantly. Perhaps it’s a lull before the storm, but for watever reason I had a call free night.
Next came an unexpected gift. One of my co-workers gave me a nice Cuban cigar. Yes this is Canada where we trade with Communist Cuba. This sends some Americans into a tizzy, but it’s not like we’re a major trade partner (at a deficit too) with Red China or anything… but let’s not dwell on the hypocracy of international trade politics. It was good. It was smooth. It was relaxing.
Third and best of all my schedule and the schedule of a good friend finally synced up. There was conversation, there was comedy and laughter, and there was Gin and Fresca. Who could ask for anything more really?
Normally the universe and I are at odds with each other. Yesterday it was nice to have a truce. Who knows maybe this could even lead to lasting peace…

I’m sure if you play a good enough tune on the pipes of peace, the universe will try the same.
[sometimes] it’s all good.

Maybe I’m not trying hard enough
