it's technically "tomorrow"...

it's actually after midnight, but i wanted to blog a bit before bed...

as you all have noticed from yesterday's post, i've really been digging the tune "stones in the road" lately...

today on the way to class, i was listening to that song and i was driving near the post office in town, and this little boy was walking where the sidewalk used to be before they tore it up for all the construction...my mom was driving, so i king of watched this little boy for a moment or two...he was walking and then he stopped and stooped down and gathered some of the stones in his hand and was looking at them...he had on a warm-looking red jacket and he had this beautifully messed up blonde hair....the typical image of an all american kid...

and the lines that were playing when this boy was doing this were
"And the stones in the road shone like diamonds in the dust
And then a voice called to us to make our way back home"

i thought "how beautiful of a thing that was that just happened"...it was like serendepity or something....

i wondered, what the little boy might go "home" to, though, and i started thinking about how much things have changed in today's society even from the time i was that little boy's age to what it's like for children now...in 20 years things have changed oh so very much, it's downright scary at times....

....

anyhow, i'm tired, and i despreately need sleep...i'm babysitting later today (it is after midnight, you know!!...) ... and then i've got some medical appointments...so i need to go get my rest...

happy tuesday to all!!...
