Caught on the Window Wiper
You know. Finding a job for the summer has not been easy. The Woodstock Terrace just isn’t going to provide me with enough hours. The summer program at Middletown Springs is still iffy. I’ve signed up to sub for two school districts, and just spent some time working on my cover letter to apply at a Randolph company. And after I week I still don’t have anything solid. In the meanwhile I need an oil change and my tires need to be changed. And then there is the application fee for my license to teach.
But as I was driving the sister to work this afternoon I hit a butterfly. It got tangled in my windshield wipers, wings flapping crazily in the wind. We thought for sure that I had killed it as we sped 60mph along the North Road. I even tried to dislodge it form the wiper by turning them on, making a smear of butterfly juices along my windshield. It was such a beautiful butterfly.
I finally couldn’t take it anymore and pulled of at the Barnard Town Hall to take it off. As I lifted the wiper it immediately flew off, quickly, with no signs that it had been hurt. It flew directly to a lilac bush to join several of its friends. It was as if it had never been hit in the first place.
As I drove back from Woodstock I recalled what had happened and it hit me that although I may be going through a rough time right now, I will be able to fly away from it all eventually. I just need to be persistent and patient. God has the right thing in store for me.
