I know this was probably one of those polite questions where I was supposed to respond with, “Fine thank you, and yours?” But I was caught off guard and when I just stared slack-jawed into my memory, she was forced to say, “Is that a tough question?” Well yes. Because nothing really bad happened but… Let’s take a look shall we. First, there is the ongoing matter of trying not to eat, breathe or move on the right side of my mouth.  Let’s just say if you thought getting a crown took you into the league of supersonic teeth aka JAWS (the 007 one), then you like me, are sadly mistaken. Seems I am soon to have the thing extracted. Next, there’s the ongoing siege of ants who are determined to invade my kitchen.  I then commit acts of ant genocide only to find that their envoys have not satisfactorily communicated the message back home, and another bunch of suckers are sent in.  I have to admit, they’re wearing me down… Thirdly. My son is now farming rabbits....

On my way out today I saw: 55 yellow and purple wildflowers, standing proud in the breeze 34 cows, lolling in the veld 21 birds, insect-hunting across the sky 13 children of God, waiting along the side of the road 8 guinea fowl, unsure which way to turn 5 sunflowers in search of sun 3 buck, meandering the cool morning 2 bright red Bishop birds, pestering a stem of grass 1 sky overall And within it all the embracing Spirit of God. * The Fibonacci sequence starts like this: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 and so on forever. Each number is the sum of the two numbers that precede it. It's a simple pattern, but it appears to be a kind of built-in numbering system to the cosmos, and could possibly speak to the idea of a divine creator.
