about today's plans

Today I had an accident, nothing grave, just a flat tire while I was driving in a highway. I had the opportunity though to be escorted by the police to the closest exit. No harm, just metal, rubber and a couple of mix emotions.

Today I had plans, lot of them. They all evaporated as fast as the breath can be taken away by the wind.

Today I had my girlfriend put aside what she was doing to give me a hand. And her plans also, went away.

Today I feel dizzy thinking of what happened and what may have been.

Today showed me, in a brutal way, that NO DAY follows our plans. We follow THEIRS.

Sometimes, they do meet, and sometimes they go in the complete opposite direction.

I have had the silly and selfish thought sometimes. That the world was somehow turning around me. That the earth will slow down and provide assistance if needed be. Silly I tell you. 

The fact is the world is revolving within the vast universe. It just happened to hitch me for a ride. Nowhere there was I guaranteed that the ride wont be bumpy at times ....
