Just after we got to the roof of the Six Sentence Cafe & Bistro, delayed because the voice had to catch his breath, I saw the tall, thin man high tail it down the stairs because of some talk about thunder. The voice told me I had three options: 1) get wet, 2) run for cover or 3) tell the storm to skip this particular roof while every thing else gets soaking wet. I chose option 3.
While enjoying the storm I asked the voice if he had any other words of wisdom he figured I ought to know. He said, If you’d abide, you’d rejoice, your load would lighten and you’d finally get something worthwhile done.
After the storm popped the heat wave like a balloon and we were walking down the stairs, I observed that we didn’t get wet at all out there on the roof and the voice said, You did choose option 3, remember?
