Just a spot on a rock
So, I'm standing over my toilet looking into the grey porcelain bowl, and before I even do anything, I notice that the water is swaying and swishing around.
Just overhead, I feel a cool breeze through the bathroom vent. It seems, the wind was so strong it was swaying the building, not the water.
Then, as I was procrastinating things by sitting in the the chair in our living room, I looked out the window and watched the television antenna and direct tv satellite dish sway to the wind on the roof across the street.
Then I watched the clouds zooming past, reminding me most things are out of my control and I am just a spot on this speck of rock hurtling through the universe.
