have you met life

Current mood: like i've met life

today, i was in my backyard, barefooted, blowing bubbles. I highly recommend that everyone try it. and after you've blown a couple small ones, i dare you to try and concentrate. Concentrate on blowing the biggest motherload of a rainbow of a bubble you've ever seen. Do it. You have to be very steady, very patient. You have to really, really breathe. More than that, you have to concentrate. For about 11 seconds, you will forget everything. Everything but the transparent orb swirling with colors you only see in a puddle of fallen gasoline oil. Keep breathing. Start holding your breath, and then still, there will be nothing but you and the crystal bubble. The fight with your friend? The broken vase? The undone homework? The unpayed taxes? For me, it was the friend that left without saying a word. Whatever it may be, whatever it was, you will forget about it. And the clear water tears in your eyes will be gone and all that will be reflected in them will be the transparent swirls of liquid color, joy, a small sphere of purity and serene. When it pops, i dare you try to make and even bigger motherload of a rainbow of a bubble you've ever seen. Put your life on hold. Get lost in spheres of joy as you run with the wand, a train of bubbles trailing you. Forget about whatever it was. Just bring it. Bring the wand to your lips and blow the biggest motherload of a rainbow of a bubble you've ever seen before. And then, i dare you to show it off.

Blowing bubbles eh?

What is the point? Try it. You'll figure it out.
