Why did the watermelon cross the road? 🍉
Yesterday, while heading out for a woodland walk with a friend, we came upon this…
A perfectly intact watermelon.
Just sitting in the middle of a quiet neighborhood street.
No truck in sight.
No picnic nearby.
No obvious explanation.
Naturally, we started doing what humans do best…
Trying to figure it out.
Did it fall out of someone’s grocery bag?
Roll off a truck?
Was it left there on purpose?
Who knows?
When I showed the picture to (someone who will remain anonymous to protect the innocent ; ), I was expecting him to offer his own theory.
Instead, in all his “old-soul wisdom”, he simply picked up a slice, took a bite… and smiled.
It struck me that maybe that’s the difference between living in our heads and living in the moment.
Sometimes we’re busy asking, “How or why did this happen?”
Sometimes the wiser response is simply,
🍉😋
No need to solve every mystery.
No need to explain every moment.
Sometimes life is just inviting us to take a bite and experience what’s here.
So… what’s your theory? 😄
Or better yet…
Would you have stopped to wonder…
or stopped to eat?
