Very few pleasures from my childhood have carried into my present adult life. Three things come to mind off the top of my head: fountains, tall buildings and water globes. Though I am not an avid collector of globes, I still enjoy shaking the hell out of one and watching everything settle; glitter, confetti, snow, leaves, and the like.It occured to me over the weekend as I walked through Macy's Christmas displays, life is much like a water globe. Sitting idle on a shelf, globes are no more interesting to look at than paint drying. But, given a few turns, everything becomes more interesting. There is a specific moment when everything is beautiful and charged, that moment comes after shaking and right before everything settles.
You cannot control life's topsy turvy-ness, and sometimes having everything in the air can get to you, but what you can bet on everytime is that things will eventually settle and become like it once was. The things flying around the globe represent things going on in our world, but like confetti and glitter, they make a unique display, perhaps even a beautiful one.
:D
