Does anyone else dream about having a bird land on your finger? Or a squirrel sit on your shoulder? Or a butterfly rest on your nose? Don't you think that would be great?! Sadly I've never experienced that joy. But maybe if I keep waiting and hoping something great like that will happen to me.
It is one of those things that we cannot force to happen. There is a balance of patience, stillness, and time. You cannot will something as free as a bird to decide to land where you want it. It will simply go there when it is time. For the boy, the time was not now. Yet the dog, who waited mearly a moment, experienced the bliss. Cheer up boy. You're only lacking in the timing of events. Maintain the patience and stillness.
Being in different time zones is like being in the future or in the past. One time I was talking to a friend on the west coast and I was able to predict what was going to happen on a new episode of 24. I could do this because the Midwest is in the West Coast's future. The center of America is very cool and futuristic like that. The East Coast is even further in the future! Maybe that's why people say New York is such a fast paced place. You gotta move fast to stay the future.
