It was one of the strangest incident I have ever had. And this is saying a lot, particularly because it was a little non event - a little nothing that occurred. But it was important. I was walking in the cemetary as I often do and I was running particular trains of thought in my mind. Yes, these paths are not untrodden. I have walked them before.

But a giant parachute of a milkweed seed floated right past my face and then drifed off. It was an epiphany for me. It was a gift about who I am and what kin d of person I want to be. And just like that the little milkweed seed made me think about myself in a different way.

It was wonderful. I stopped walking and just considered this new way of thinking about myself. We so rarely ever change but when an insight comes it is quite the something.
