I.
I was the first character I typed today.
It was also the second character, if you don’t count the full stop after the first I. And it was also the third, as I then typed the I for the title of the post before finishing the second sentence. Which could also actually be the first sentence if you didn’t count the first I as a sentence.
I don’t actually know why I typed I first.
I may have been meaning to write something for Sideview’s weekend theme this week, which is ‘Doing it Right’, but I didn’t. Do it right, that is, because as soon as I typed that first I, I had completely forgotten what I was going to write about.
I’m sure it would have been about something of meaning, something of great value and importance to the whole of the blog-reading world, and not the fact that I had used the letter I first today.
I have to wonder though, if we paid this much attention to everything we did, would we do what we were doing right first time? Would everything be perfect? Everything in harmony?
In all jonesty, I don’t think it would.
I don’t think anything would get done, as we’d all be so focussed on what we were doing, we’d miss something out, or overlook something of great importance, or run out of time… but then, would paying so much attention on what we are doing actually mean the end of our perception of time? Time would cease to exist and then we could take as long as we wanted on doing what we are doing right. So, does that mean time is what makes us do things wrong? Hmmm.
I did notice that typo back there as well, but if I went back to it, I’d have missed the paragraph before this one, so I carried on regardless. And then I had to keep the typo in otherwise this paragraph wouldn’t make sense.
Is it a coincidence that the letter involved in the typo is the next in the alphabet to the letter I? Or did I subconsciously type it correctly to prove that as I was so focussed on getting this post done right first time, I’d actually included the error deliberately?
I don’t know.
I think too deeply about things at times. And all this from the letter I.
If you hadn’t already noticed, this post is another response to Sideview’s weekend theme. Visit her site and join in the fun, if you so desire! The link’s somewhere above!
Jappy Saturday!
