Jalapeno on the Sidewalk

So, yesterday morning I was running. I ran too long and too fast, but that's another story. I was running off some of the frustration that has built over the past 10 days or so. So, I was about 20 or so minutes in, and I was running past Rojo restaurant on Highland Avenue and as I looked down, there was a slice of a jalapeno pepper. In the abstract way my mind works...I began to equate that to my life.

This little slice of the pepper was just a piece of a whole, and maybe there was an entire pepper somewhere with just a piece missing and the rest intact?! Who knows...

But, maybe I could say that right now my life is a pepper with just a slice missing and somewhere the rest of it is there, whole and without distraction or destruction. So, hopefully, somewhere down the road, I'll find the rest of my pepper. Maybe in my 30s (um, yeah which isn't so far off) or my 40s? Its there, I know it is... my intact... just a little slice missing jalapeno, wait LIFE!!!!
