Someone you care about seeks reconciliation.I was intrigued considering my thoughts of late. If anyone is seeking to reconcile with me, they're being quiet about it, or maybe it's yet to happen. Still, it's just a strip of paper pulled out of a folded cookie; more often than not, the strips reveal proverbs, aphorisms, or short statements that make no sense at all or mean everything at once.
And then it hit me: the strip doesn't say the person I care about is seeking reconciliation with me, just that she or he is seeking reconciliation. Even reconciliation need not mean what I assumed; someone could just be trying to balance a checkbook. That seems pretty probable.
I stopped and bought a pint of wonton soup the other night. The fortune that came with this order simply read: "You are the best!"
ReplyDeleteI stuck it on the fridge along with one I've had there for a few months that reads: "Enough is as good as a feast." That thought passed through my mind more than once during my summer of unemployment.
Both of those are quite good. If it's not going to be a fortune, then I'm all for the short, declarative affirmation. I'd have saved those too.
