Out at kiss and ride today I found a RaceTrac lighter.
It fell out of a car.
A little thing I do these days is add up all the letters.
There are 26 letters in our alphabet, and each letter has a number.
When I added up the letters in RaceTrac I arrived at 69.
All sorts of images came into my mind.
When I push a six (6) and nine (9) together, they sort of
Look like a figure 8. This reminds me of a race track.
Then I visualized a figure eight in 3-D space,
And I was reminded of a Mobius strip.
The lighter has a bar code on its back. Its numbers are:
9158500700. If you add up all these numbers, not counting zeros,
You arrive at thirty-five. (28 (00) + 7 (00) = 35; and 3 + 5 = 8).
I can assure you I never used to be like this.
This eternal race track can be a blessing or a curse.
With no finish line, the winners and losers are all the same.
I have learned to put the race aside, and focus on
The people in my life. They are my reward.
