Why?

Every morning I hear the birds happily chirping outside my window. Perhaps this is what's been waking me up at 5am every morning for the past three weeks?! I also have a bird's nest in the shrub near my door. A robin used to come every year to lay eggs there. It's been a while since she's been back.

This reminds me of that Carpenters song, "Close To You" - "Why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near?"

Why? There's a million dollar question. Oh, if we only had all the answers.

The night of our talk, I asked him why he smashed his computer. I wanted to turn the therapy session around on him and use the "5 Whys?" technique.

- Why did you smash your computer? Because my boss wouldn't let me take a sick day.
- Why did you want to take a sick day? Because my brain didn't feel well.
- Why didn't your brain feel well? Because I've had a lot on my mind.
- Why have you had a lot on your mind? Because I've been thinking about this girl that I've been hanging out with.
- Why have you been thinking about her? Because I love her.

Well, that's the conversation I envisioned in my head. And that's the story I'm sending out to the Universe. Are you listening? :)
