Challenge of the Week LXXXVI
Write about a blessing in disguise. A cloud with a silver lining. A time when an obstacle turned out to be a boon. Poetry or Prose, fiction or nonfiction.
Perspective
It seems as though the universe and I are at odds.
When I step outside, a cloud forms over my head.
When I get in my car, lightning appears in the sky.
As I walk from my house to my car, puddles form under my feet.
And i let out a sigh.
My darling, you have failed to notice that when you stepped outside, you were carrying an umbrella.
When you got in your car, it had rubber tires.
When you walked from your car to your house, you were wearing rainboots.
The universe is in your favor, my dear,
you just had the wrong perspective.
