So, this came to me in a dream today. It was a rather strange dream but I started thinking about it and then suddenly it made a lot of sense.
Life is like a flower hatching from an egg. It is beautiful, but usually not what you expect. In order to truly appreciate it, you have to be willing to give up your expectations and take what comes. The ability to appreciate the absurd also comes in very handy.
I dig it. I mean like I really dig that statement. I was sitting in the physics loungue today, looking at all of the bricks painted by past Xavier Physics graduates and thinking of what I was going to put on my brick. This question has been in my mind since I first saw that wall back in August 2003, and now I think I know what will go up there, along with a few other little gimmicks or something.
