Weird.

Life, why are you so weird? You're just weird. It's weird. I don't know what else to say apart from that... which is weird. Did I just say weird? That's weird. Hmm. Weird, I know. But you know what's really weird? Walking. You use your left foot, you move it and position it with your leg, and then you use your right foot, and move and position that foot with your other leg... and then you just keep doing that in the same order, and you are in a completely different place when you stop. It's weird. They're just feet, but they've been on so many different surfaces, so many different kinds of land - dirt, grass, sand, concrete, gravel, bitumen, mud, rocks, you name it. And then there are the footprints left behind from other feet belonging to other people, those people, with their own stories of where they've been and what they've seen, and where their two feet have walked on this planet we call Earth. It's so weird.
And I'm rambling about feet, I know. But it's yet another example that shows we are all so connected in this world.
The other day I saw a photo of Jon Foreman performing on stage with Taylor Swift. And my thoughts were like this: "I've stood before, beside and behind Jon Foreman, I've held his hand, sang into his microphone, and have been slightly crushed by his weight. My friend Brittany just recently met Taylor swift, gave her a hug and spent a few hours to get to know her. And then Taylor Swift and Jon Foreman are on stage together, singing side by side. And then there's Brittany and I, who know each other well, who were once close friends, who would go everywhere together, hug, high five, walk side by side. And we're on the opposite sides of the world. And this is weird."

That's basically the sum of what happens in the whole world, with everyone knowing someone who knows someone who has met someone that the first person once knew. I know. But that's just one of the many quirks that make up who I am. And I am weird. But really, if we are all descendents from Abraham, since we are the lineage of Christ, then I know someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who knew someone who knew someone who etc.... I don't know, got to walk side by side with Jesus Christ in his human form. We're really all connected. Like our two feet. They may be totally separate parts of the body, but without the other one, we don't function properly. Our feet are still connected.
Feet are weird. This post is weird. I feel so weird. And I'm very tired. Rambling is pretty weird too. I don't know if this post has a purpose. But if you happen to find one, let me know.
