“Every time I see the bumper sticker that says ‘We think we’re humans having spiritual experiences, but we’re really spirits having human experiences,’ I (a) think it’s true and (b) want to ram the car.” Anne Lamott
I can relate to Anne Lamott here. It is so easy to get tied up in knots about life and miss the life going on around me. That it takes a bumper sticker, or worse yet, a tragedy or misfortune of some type to bring me back to these realities, to point out what is important in life, is a bit embarrassing. But then, compared to the alternative – continuing on obliviously – I’ll take the embarrassment and the perpetual Homer Simpson, slap on the forehead “DOH!”
