Jonah and the Whale
Ever take your car through one of those car washes where you stay in the car and it is placed on a track where it goes through different wash cycles?
I went through one between
As I put it in neutral I was talking to my sister on the cell and watching the process at the same time.
All of a sudden I think I felt like Jonah when he was in the whale…except with me, I was surrounded in something that kept me dry.
I quickly got off the phone and just watched. First there was LOTS of water. Then, these green tentacles came at me from all sides…sort of like I suspect the stomach does when it begins to process things…either in a whale or in a person.
Afterwards, there was a blue, yellow and red foamy substance that made the whole car look like it was a slimy mess….I won’t begin to suspect what that might look like in the digestive process…but was real glad I was watching from the inside.
After all that, lots more water and then it was time to dry off with the wind and sunshine.
Whew…we made it through and things were almost brand spanking new!
Once or twice in my car I thought of that experience as going through the birth process. Not sure where my mind was coming from when this went on…but it did make me think of the STRANGEST things.
My wish for you today is that you take an ordinary thing and see if you can experience it in a different way. There’s no harm in that at all and it certainly could cause you to smile over something that, before, was pretty uneventful!
