It’s Enough
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010
The other day, my mother brought me the May 23 newspaper comics page so she could show me Classic Peanuts (I don’t subscribe to the paper). In the strip, Snoopy sits in front of his dog bowl, his tongue hanging out. He’s thinking, “Empty! And I’m dying of thirst.”
In the next frame, Snoopy carries his bowl in his mouth. In the third frame, he sits in front of an outdoor faucet, his bowl in his mouth, holding it positioned under the faucet. The next frame is identical. The next frame, he looks away from the faucet with a worried expression. In the next frame, he’s back to staring at the faucet, patiently holding his dish beneath it.
In the next frame, rain starts to fall. In the next, the rain is heaver. Snoopy still holds his bowl under the faucet.
In the next frame, he carries his bowl through the rain. In the next frame, he drinks water from the bowl. In the next frame, the rain stops, and he sits back.
In the final frame, he lies on top of his doghouse thinking, “That’s one I’m going to have to think about for awhile.”
Unlike Snoopy, I didn’t have to think about it for awhile. I got it immediately. It was the guidance I’ve been wanting. Thank you, law of attraction. (more…)
