Sidewalk chalk today

In big colored letters on the sidewalk today, someone had written:
Aborigines believed the universe was SUNG into existence
It was a nice find to randomly stumble upon. It transformed an otherwise average walk into a mindful, evening stroll at dusk.

that is pretty interesting.
it reminds me of my long, baked, drive home today, i kinda got lost. didn't know exactly where i was and only raelly recognized a few street names, so i was trying to guide my way.
i was thinkin it was sorta like a puzzle.. like a game. the scenario i was at in life. like every decision you have to make is just another "move."
and if life is a game, whose really playing the pieces on the table?

Interesting. I like the spotaneous bursts of comparison when I catch myself engaged in some mental task and realize it it analogous to the bigger picture. As for your question, it's akin to asking if we are the main character or are we the author?
Sometimes I believe the pieces and the table are just lyrics to the same lyric-less song, with stanzas disappearing and words melding together with enough introspection.
Maybe the game is being playing backwards; maybe the novel being written is really a child's coloring book and we're but the occasional slips across the lines -- an oops here, and uh oh there.

I love that. I wish people would do that more often.
In fact in a bathroom stall i was in today, someone wrote "Make love to the present, fuck the past.
It transformed an otherwise mundane shit into an introspective, insightful cleansing.
Not quite as cool as yours...
