It's funny. Normally we live our lives like we know what the future holds. We don't of course, but we live like we do. We have to, really. Otherwise, how could you make plans or ever get anything done?
It's like we are constantly walking a tightrope. The only way to keep moving is to never look down.
This morning, I was thinking that the TV show "Psych" will be back on soon, sometime near the end of the month (does it make me a bad person if I'm really, really excited about the return of the summer shows?).
At first I was like, "yeah, can't wait to watch it." Then I thought, I have no idea what will be going on in a couple of weeks. I don't know where I'll be or what I'll be doing. The way things are going, watching TV may be the last thing on my mind.
I mean, we all know these things. We know it's a long way down and easy to fall, but we keep looking ahead, anyway, keep putting one foot in front of the other.
It's just that every once in a while, something comes along and forces you to look down. Then you have no choice but to face the fact that all your plans are smoke and all that lies beneath you is a gaping chasm.
