SO Y’ALL . . . 

We seem to agree that that the number 3 has at least a thing or two to teach you and me! 

SO OFTEN WE FIND OURSELVES WAITING ENDLESSLY FOR THE PERSON WHO DOESN’T SHOW UP.

MEG RYAN WAITS IN THE CAFE FOR THE LOVE OF HER LIFE, WHO DOESN’T SECURE THE LOVE KNOT

WHEN HE SEES HER, A WORK COMPETITOR RATHER THAN THE FUTURE LOVE OF HIS LIFE. THEY ALLOW 

PAST AND FUTURE TO FORESTALL THE BEAUTY AND EXCITEMENT BY ALLOWING  HOW THEY WERE

GROOMED TO DETERMINE WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY TRULY SEEK, SIMPLY BECAUSE  OF THE 

NATURAL TRANSITION OF MOM AND POP STORE TO MEGA-BOOK STORE; THEY SIMPLY WEREN'T READY.

AT TIMES WE FEEL GRIPPED FROM BEHIND, AND TRAUMATIZED BY THE IMAGINARY MAN BEHIND.

AT OTHER TIMES, EVEN FACING A SHOCKING DIAGNOSIS WE ARE READY HOWEVER; TO SEE THE BEAUTIFUL

FORM OF OURSELVES IN THE MIDST OF THE TURMOIL. TOO OFTEN THE ONES WE ARE WAITING FOR ARE NOT 

READY TO COME FORTH AS WE GRASP FOR FUTURE PERFECTION, OR CLING TO A FAMILIAR PAST, WHILE SO 

OFTEN WE IGNORE THE MAGNIFICENCE THAT THE VERY MOMENT PORTENDS. THE SACRED WATERS OF LIFE'S

BLESSINGS TRICKLE DOWN THE SACRED STONES IN SETS OF THREES IT SEEMS: THE WORN PATH, THE IMAGINED

FUTURE THAT 'MUST BE PREFERABLE TO ‘THIS,' AND LESS OFTEN, THE REFRESHING MOMENT WHERE WHAT

WE NEVER IMAGINED COULD ACTUALLY BE. IT’S MY HUNCH THAT YOU WILL FIND THE TEACHING OF THREE 

FAR MORE IN THE FOREST OR THE WATERFALL THAN SITTING ON THE PARK BENCH OR IN THE BUSY CAFE.
