Good morning, everyone who wasn't born in a bounded world. Why don't How about that snow?

So, tomorrow is Christmas. I'm sure that, ideally, most of us would be spending it with our families. Or our friends, at the very least. But then, our lives include an ancient tree with a shitty truly awful sense of humour.

Do you have a tree?

Theoretically?

I'm more concerned with practical application.

There is a tree, somewhere outside of the city, destined to become my Christmas tree. The problem is getting it from intent of purpose to actualization of potential. So, theoretically, yes, I have a tree. Practically, it's a bit more fluid at the moment.

What are the obstacles standing between potential and manifestation?

1. The trees are big.
2. I weigh about 90 pounds.
3. I have no axe, and even if I did, I don't know how to use one.
4. It's really cold outside.
5. Have I mentioned I weigh about as much as your average 12 year old?
6. Every tree I've ever gotten myself has been delivered by men who set it up in its own little pot for replanting after the holiday, or has been plastic and had feet on the bottom.

Not that I'm discouraged, mind you. These are just the largest obstacles at this particular juncture. Because in the future, this tree is already my Christmas tree, so obviously it must have a way of making it happen. I'm merely waiting to be shown the light.

How would you feel about a deus ex machina?

You mean... in the form of you showing up on my doorstep with a tree?

It sounds so much more impressive in Latin.

Sectum?

But that's past tense.

Ianto ad foris sectum arbor.

Works for me.

And to answer your question, I would feel monumentally relieved that my tree had found me. Can't go messing with the way things are meant to be.

You can try, but Time doesn't like it very much.

Neither does Fate.
