finding the meaning

Do you believe in understanding why things happen? Is there always a lesson to be found in the random events that make up our lives?

Why did this bowl break?

What significance did this piece of pottery have in my life?

Will I miss it?

Will I need a new one?

If I am VERY honest with myself, I think I already know some of the answers...

This bowl is old - not terribly old, but old by bowl standards. This bowl has history. History that is no longer important to me, and is part of a past that I choose not to dwell on. I enjoy new, exciting and vibrant things. Things with colour, things that make me smile...

Maybe it's time for new, non-breakable bowl :)
