Over The Horizon

Watching the night sky’s illumination across the clouds in the early morning.

We think we want to see beyond the horizon or what’s around the corner. 

That it will give us peace or stability. 

It wouldn’t. 

We don’t know the details of what is to come. 

I sometimes say that the reason the world works is that each of us is an idiot on different days. And that most of the time we get a reprieve because all of the bad things don’t happen simultaneously.

The world is an overthinker’s nightmare because we want to know what’s around the corner so that we can fool ourselves into thinking we can control it.

We can’t even open a produce bag most of the time. We get irritated at the bag, as if we can’t collectively tell the people who make them to stop with the nonsense. 

Looking at the night sky, enjoying it, but also nodding in acknowledgment that some days we have to just shake our heads at the decisions we make. 

If we can just find the right meme to mock someone, everything might be okay.
