I love those moments you have when planets align, the pieces fall together and you have a "BING" lightbulb moment.
Sometimes it's a major discovery. Something that has bugged and bugged you for ages and then "BING" everything makes sense.
Sometimes it's something a tad smaller.
A song you couldn't remember remembered.
A face connected to a name.
A name connected to a face.
The password to your wireless network recalled.
Or something inane like one day realising the shoes you've had for 14 odd years are uncomfortable because the laces in them were put in incorrectly.
How?
Why?
All I know is that after buying new laces and putting them in how I normally do, I don't get a pain across the top of my foot now.
They were laced a bit different, but I have neither the exact recall or vocabulary to describe the method used in any way that would give the process the justice it deserved.
I wish I'd changed them years ago instead of suffering in silence.
With reflection, I probably wasn't that silent.
Sigh.
At least I know now why they cost so much all those years ago.
Oh and yes I did try them on smarty.
The pain was only apparent after lengthy wearing.
And now it continues through this endeavour into non-deletion and self exposure of the literaturical kind.
I made up that last funny looking word.
Not kind. The other one before that.
Heh heh.
Exodus 3
Now THAT was a lightbulb moment of ancient proportions.
A burning bush that doesn't burn.
And not just that, it knows my name!!
Here is Moses, in exile because of his actions against the oppressors of his people.
He may have wondered what he'd done, what he'd given up.
Alone.
Then he hears God say, that He has heard the cry in affliction of His people.
The same people.
The people Moses has killed for.
Vindication?
Relief?
Thank goodness someone is going to save them.
Phew.
What! Me?
No way!
Panic.
You'll be with me?
Ummmm.
Milk and honey?
You'll be with me?
They'll listen to ME?
You'll be with me.
Ok.
You'll be with me.
He is with me.

Bing!
Left over right, and feeding the lace through the hole from the inside out. I must check some of my shoes, actually...
Milk and honey are nice, but I'd prefer it to also be flowing with coffee and caramel...
Some people take a lot more interest in lacing shoes than others:

Mostly from the outside going in. But that may have been the problem.... I'll need to look again too. One lace broke about 3 years ago as well so that didn't help. Who knew it only cost $2 for new ones!!!!
That is an amazing site Nik. I'm split between being impressed or concerned. There's way too much thought entered into there.
