Ecclesiastes: (and forgive me if I misspelled it) There Is Nothing New Under The Sun. The sun goes around and it comes around. It it all utter foolishness, all chasing the wind.
I haven't updated this blog in a while because, There Is Nothing New Under The Sun. Still slogging through re-writing and how many times do you want to read that trite phrase? So I haven't written.
This morning I was thinking of the musings of Solomon in Ecclesiastes. But riding in the clapped-out derelict school bus that is relegated to taking the pump station personnel to and from work, this morning, this morning I saw a shooting star. At oh-my-god-it's-early-thirty.
Of course it's pitch black dark in Prudhoe Bay now for about 23 out of 24 hours so a pitch black dark sky is the norm. But not a shooting star. I heard words that were mine: Oh wow. Wow. Didja see that? No one else did. Someone said, "Well, you gotta make a wish! You gotta make a wish on a falling star!"
Cripes, have I become that far removed from childhood that I'd forgotten that set-in-stone LAW?
Evidently.
So wish I did. We will see if it comes true.
