Pondering the Obvious

Keep a nightlight on inside the birdhouse in your soul

When five lightbulbs burn out simultaneously in your house, does it mean something? Two needed new bulbs, two needed to be switched onto a different setting (so much for calling myself mechanically inclined) and one is stuck. Stuck stuck.

Lightbulbs are the symbol of, well, first of all light. Then bright ideas. So maybe I need two parts new bright ideas, two parts of ideas in a new setting and one part getting unstuck with my bright ideas.

Maybe the bulbs represent people in my life. Two need total replacing, two need a new setting in my life and one needs to be broken and taken away with a pair of pliers.

Oh, sure, you're sitting there, thinking I'm insane. I like the idea of symbolism. I like looking for the burning bush, feeling like my life is sad and then I talk to someone, whether I just met him/her or have known him/her forever and there is the yes.

The bulbs are saying "Yes! Let's get some light in here!"
