Wondering kind is the time when the mind decides to invade its own personal thoughts of a future untold. This particular wondering kind normally hits you when you are in the most awkward of times and places. This wondering kind decided to point its spiky bony fingers to me on a Sunday morning.
THE SUNday I will never forget.
One day i was going to school; i had barely reached the school gate when the bell rung. No sooner had i entered school than the teacher on duty saw me and decided to make my behind a muscle building competition by use of a cane. A chill of fear run down my back and
Anyyyyyywaaaayyyy to the real SUNday: this particular Sunday, was sugar and spice and everything nice like Josh Groban (insert dreamy eye love pumping heart and dreams coming true.) As a norm i was on my way to church, when cupid released its arrow early to ensure that i wore an outfit that revealed most of my feminine curves ensuring that i wore a feminine belt that matched my feminine shoes. In the spirit of feeling feminine i decided to listen to feminine tunes like "BESAMO MUCHO" by Andrea Bocelli (Insert another dreamy eye and Spanish dreams coming true)
<--------------- Girl thinking of dreams coming true.
I was in church ready to listen and learn. We sat down upon worship and praise team exit; as the routine in most Churches in Kenya the preacher announced: "Turn to your neighbor and say hi with a great smile." Normally i would pretend i was busy and ignore but still suffering from the sting of cupid's arrow i turned to the guy on my left, did a small side smile then i turned to the guy and my right and that is the day i understood why they call it the "right" side because boy oh boy was this man "right" in all aspects! he was right to get my full smile; he was right to look like my Adam and he was right when he said: "my name is Victor, where have i seen you before?" i was about to ask him if he was missing a rib because right in front of his eyes stood his missing rib below:
Then i said " i don't know, He insisted and said: " am sure i have seen you somewhere: question is where?" i wanted to say "in my future dreams with our future selves in a future pack selling future things to future people." when i remembered that we were in church and that wisdom was a virtue. we were cut short by the announcement that it was offertory time and the praise and worship team would bless us with a number; My mind hoped that the number would be Victors' telephone number but i only understood that a number in church meant a song.
these tow very gentle men sang to Victor and i in a very gently tone and we responded as below:
The lady who passes the offertory basket came and Victor and i both dipped our hands in the basket at the same time! I was in bliss!!! Anyway need to say i did not listen to what the preacher thought that day because i was disrupted in my mind by the wondering kind thought.
The service was over; as we walked out Victor said" now tell me where we know each other from." Gosh this guy was really pushing it. I feigned the "trying to remember" face and i shrugged my shoulders and said "i really can't remember."
We were soon at the exit of the church when i told him i was going right. he said he needed to talk a friend and then said "Im sure i will see you again right?" i said "right."
Remember what i wrote about the wondering kind of thoughts? mhh never underestimate the power thoughts have in your mind. That is why i believe Paul said "renew your mind by finding out how Perfect God's will is". Everyday i learn that truth is what is present; i avoid at all costs thinking about the future because it is not real.
Anyway i went home and then i decided to write about this so that you can laugh and then remember this piece the next time you are in church and you are sited next to a Victor look alike on your right! Oh also i have changed my signature from -FIN- to -Just like that!- they say a change is as good as a rest so am off to rest. :)
-Just like that!-
