Random Drive-by Fruiting!

If the Lunch Lady Taoist can do it, then so can I. Do what? See the wonder in the ordinary. Be zen about work. I wasn't very zen yesterday at all, not unless you call getting grumpy and swearing a lot zen.

I don't have time to write much now, but I must tell this little story.

Yesterday as I was riding my squeaky, rusty bike to work, I did what I said I would do in the post below and 'got positive' about it all. So there I was, sanctimoniously thanking the Universe for Life when I saw a bright orange object go sailing past just in front of my handle-bars.

An orange! Some cheeky git in a car going the other way tried to hit me with a piece of fruit. It smashed against the curb and would have definitely hurt if it hit me. Buggers!

Talk about straw dogs (Tao Te Ching, look it up, I don't have time to find a link). Pray all you want, recite your positive affirmations, thank 'Spirit' for 'Life' - doesn't mean you aren't about to bonked on the head by a piece of full-pelt fruit!

Although, admittedly, it DID miss me, didn't it...
