Free will sucks

“Free will sucks,” suggested a friend in an E-mail. I couldn’t agree more. And there is no easy resolution to the question about how to deal with love and a soul mate situation. None. There are no definitive answers, either. After rush hour was long over, an awe – inspiring thunderstorm rolled through town. Reports crackled on the radio about possible tornados west of town, and maybe the weather was moving east. The rain is welcome, the river was swollen, and I got soaking wet hopping through the puddle to track mud into my neighbor’s trailer, just long enough to watch the weather on the TV. “That strike was less than a mile away,” he observed with a calm, detached point of view as lightening lit up the sky and loud peal of thunder rolled through rattling the trailer’s windows. The only thing I can say about love is that I love this weather, and it’s going to flush a lot of trash out of the river in the next few days.
