Act I:
This morning I woke up with a strange and clear image in my head. For some reason I was thinking about straight lines, and how, if enough of them are drawn in a very linear, very organized way, a circle forms. I was thinking about that parallel in life--how straight lines and circles are essentially opposites, and yet one can be formed from a collection of the other. How sometimes we set out so intent on one task and/or path that we look up and we've become/created the very antithesis of what we wanted. We've worked so hard to get somewhere we've just circumvented what we were fleeing. I am not thinking in specifics at all, it was just an observation.
Act II:
I went to Friday Night Live in Herndon a few weeks ago and was people watching like I tend to do. The kids struck me, because of how simple they make introductions and friendship. They see another child and a game forms. There is no awkward, "Hi my name is bla, what do you do for a living?" and obligatory personal space, introduction decorum to follow. It was refreshing. I do wish I could run up, tag someone and yell "you're it!" and just spontaneously have a game form. I think I'd take life, friendships, and time a little less seriously.
