Not Impossible

You never know what you’ll see until you look around. I spotted an interesting sight in a parking lot after a car slid into the space beside me. The driver walked away and left a pet in the car. Most dogs wait for their owners by pacing around the car or standing on guard for intruders.

But, not this dog. It sat frozen in the passenger seat, staring straight ahead. It didn’t even stare at back like most dogs who silently beg for attention. I looked away, thinking how this large dog acted like a person. When I glanced back, the dog had vanished. Of course, it probably found something entertaining in the back of the vehicle because it certainly didn’t disappear. Hearing that something is impossible always challenges us think otherwise, like this:

Sometimes we hear situations that seem unbelievable, stretch our imaginations, and break old assumptions. What did you think was impossible, but now see how the impossible might be possible?                   

When Enlightening Follows Thunder

Few things are as annoying as faulty streetlights. I know of one street that’s fairly dark, even though it has a light. This particular streetlight doesn’t stay on for several seconds or minutes. It winks like lightning, resembling Frankenstein’s lab. You can imagine the scary thoughts that accompany a drive along that road. Instinctively, we fear what we can’t see. Check your locks and imagine this:

That’s not the kind of wackiness you want to see at night when imaginations run wild in the midst of shadows and creepy corners. Sometimes, the things we can’t see cause us more anxiety than what we can see. What situation caused you anxiety until after you walked through it, looked back, and saw how it improved you?    

  

Inside Lighted Alleys

Now that we rolled our clocks back an hour, darkness descends as fast as a poorly pitched tent. I forget how dark the back roads get with only headlights guiding the way. Adding to the night’s mystery, we never know when or where wandering deer will decide to cross the road. On cloudy evenings, darkness surrounds us like a velvet cloak as our thoughts run wild with imagined dangers, like this:

A few extra precautions will help us stay safe. For instance, trust your instincts, travel with the brightest light, and avoid roads leading to short cuts and back alleys where danger might lurk. By nature, most of us enjoy a good scare. It’s the potentially bad scares that worry us. What’s scaring you and how are you handling it?
