Forrest Gump Moment!


I had not been at work much more than an hour when the weight and complexity of the numbers I had been pondering for several days overwhelmed me to the point of requiring escape!  Out the door of Building 227, down the sidewalk bayward.  I made up my mind to walk until the sidewalk ended – not all the way to the bay, as there wasn’t really time for that.  Walk fast, as speed may somehow untangle the mass of confusion I had allowed to overtake my thinking.  Or would it be something slower that would help?  It stopped me in my tracks.  A small, downy bird feather floating softly, quietly in slow motion through the air.  Imagine that!  What else could I think of, but Forrest Gump, who certainly knew how to appreciate such a special moment?  It didn’t really untangle my brain, but the experience did calm the unwieldy thing down a tad!  Nope, you never know what you’re gonna get!
