    Insert *Sigh* here

    Did you ever have one of those days where you just kind of float along like you're somewhere else but you're not really sure where? And you walk up and down the same familiar street four times looking for the market that you know is there because you've been there a thousand times before but for some reason today it's not until your fifth time passing by that it appears out of nowhere like it'd been there all along. And you think that's funny because it really was there all along only your eyes or your mind or something wasn't there with it. And you go inside and stand for a while in the candy aisle wondering what it was that you came there for and then you remember: eggs. But you can't think of where they would be because you don't usually buy eggs so you ask the lady behind the counter and as she points right in front of you all of a sudden the eggs appear. And you smile and think magic really does exist. At least on days like today. On those days when the whole world seems lazy and hazy and a little far away and you can't seem to accomplish much because everything you do somehow takes longer than usual. On any other day you'd probably be annoyed but not today because today for no particular reason you just feel peaceful and happy. Nothing has changed, really. The speed of life and time and the spinning of the earth are the same as they always have been, only today, to you, it all seems slower. And you are content just to wonder if this is what it's like to be a Buddhist monk and if this is what things look like from the top of the moutain called Eternity.
