Life Happening - La de da de da

Suppose what is happening right now is something you don’t like.

Yesterday, I was walking from the cinema with my two kids. There was a Ford Focus car on the walkway. It was black and shiny and was a little in the way. Not that it was annoying. It was meant to be there, with a price in its window, for all those who found themselves pootling out of MediaMarkt store having bought a set of AA batteries, and suddenly realising they have an extra thirty thousand euros to spend, and what do you know, here’s just the thing to buy.

But I thought, in a kind of talking to myself sort of way, here’s Life choosing to appear as a Ford Focus on the walkway. And we scooted passed not giving it another thought.

Then, after driving around the roundabout twice because I’d forgotten there was a diversion, and then I forgot it again, and hey ho, I thought to myself, here’s Life choosing to appear as me driving needlessly around a roundabout twice.

La de da de da.

Then, when I got home, there was the wrong sort of letter in the post box. A bill I didn’t need, to go on top of the pile of bills I feel that I also don’t need. And you know, I said to myself, there is Life appearing as a stack of bills I can’t afford to pay.

La de da de da.

I wondered why they didn’t want to be paid… or why my bank account felt like it didn’t want enough money in it to be able to pay… or why some customers had forgotten to settle their invoices this month, so I have bills glaring at me impatiently turning red… or why I could do with more clients but the universe decided not to send me any.

All just Life doing its thing.

But wait... aren't I loving some of Life while resisting some of its other parts? Probably.

But then that would be Life doing it.

How wonderful.

Life Happening.
