Have you ever gone looking for something like your sunglasses, only to find that they were on the top of your head tucked behind your ears? Or maybe you went looking for your cell phone while you were leaving the house, only to realize that you were on it, so that's why you couldn't find it?
It's funny, because I have this sense, like my sunglasses being on my head (or maybe I'm even wearing them), that whatever it is I'm looking for is right here, on me, in me, with me, available to me if I would just pay a little bit more attention.
I have this feeling that something is missing, but once I find it I'm going to realize that it's been here all along. Something that I've spent tons of time looking for...convincing myself that I have no idea where it is so I must keep looking. And in looking for it, I've distracted myself so much so, that I don't even see it when I look in the mirror. Like my glasses on top of my head... my focus is elsewhere on my reflection so I don't notice that they are RIGHT THERE.
I suppose that's why we need to always check in with other people and tell them what we're searching for... so they can help us see what we cannot. That's what friends are for...to help us out of our head's a bit...and maybe even laugh about it.
